The 39th Salina Spring Poetry Series continues on Tuesday with a reading by Sheri Purpose Hall.

The reading will begin at 7 p.m. in Ad Astra Books & Coffee House, 135 N. Santa Fe Avenue. Admission will be $5 at the door and free for students with ID.

Huascar Medina, Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus, curated this year’s series for Salina Arts & Humanities. Medina selected poets with a broad range of perspectives who will share their work in Salina this April.

“Poetry takes shape in many forms and modes of expression, and we must continue celebrating them all. Sheri Hall is a dynamic, award-winning spoken word artist out of Kansas City. I am elated that Sheri is participating in the poetry series. Her presence alone is worth an audience, and I cannot wait for her to wow the crowd in Salina, Kansas. It's on my calendar. I can always use more awe in my life,” said Medina.
