This event has been postponed; stay tuned for details on a new date. 

Join Michael C. Robinson II for a meet-and-greet to celebrate his new book, The Ground Beneath You. 

The Ground Beneath You explores what it means to remain steady when life changes unexpectedly. Through reflections on identity, relationships, uncertainty, boundaries, and growth, it helps readers build an inner foundation that does not depend on circumstances staying the same.

Michael C. Robinson II is a Cleveland-based author and creator of Stay Grounded™, writing about personal growth, resilience, self-awareness, and navigating life’s changing seasons. His work encourages readers to build stronger relationships with themselves, remain grounded through uncertainty, and continue becoming people they are proud to know.

Broadsides & Ephemera: A Monthly Open Mic

Broadsides & Ephemera is Loganberry's monthly poetry open mic. We invite members of the Loganberry community to read their own works of poetry or that of a poet they admire. Each month is guest-hosted by a different local poet, this month we are joined by… 

Meg Layne (she/her) is a poet, photographer, and lifelong daydreamer who believes in the magic of a well-told story and a perfectly lit sky. A late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD creator, Megan's work explores the tangled beauty of identity, queerness, motherhood, memory, and becoming. She writes with equal parts whimsy and weight, drawing inspiration from folklore, fairytales, grief, and the glow of golden hour.

Local Voices: Iris Gambrell, Lies and Secrets

Join local author Iris Gambrell for a meet-and-greet, and purchase signed copies of her new book, Lies and Secrets. 

About the Book: 

"Lies and Secrets is a story about the pain that families hide behind closed doors. Lies and Secrets will dive deep into how generational curses may alter the course of our lives forever if we don't heal from the pain and secrets that were not our fault but it's our obligation to overcome them. I was a mere child when I started unraveling the pain from the past of my family."

Local Voices: William Cohen-Kiraly, Songs of a Befuddled Muse

Join local author William Cohen-Kiraly for a meet-and-greet and buy signed copies of his new book, Songs of a Befuddled Muse. 

About the Book:

BORN FROM A BEFUDDLED MUSE INDEED…

Songs of a Befuddled Muse contains thirteen surprising short stories that draw you into the lives of people facing life-changing inflection points in their realities.

These stories reflect the quirky nooks and crannies of the author’s mind. They include: a historian who becomes increasingly obsessed with saving a doomed Tudor queen; a dolphin who sees herself in an old prophecy; a future where humans live on separatist worlds—some with excellent pizza; a clown PI who must investigate the murder of his oldest friend and mentor; a president who learns that the devil’s promises have hidden hooks, and much more.

Some are funny, some are suspenseful, some are even dark. All of them will leave you thinking.
