Tonight, longtime Texas singer/songwriter and current Poet Laureate of Texas, Steve Fromholz will take the stage at Houston Arts Alliance’s (HAA) Literary Salon, and this time he will be without his guitar. Fromholz will speak at the event and read from a collection of his poetry.

With a career spanning more than 40 years and involving the likes of Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, John Denver and Jerry Jeff Walker, Fromholz’ body of work is legendary.

The event also will feature Houston author Sehba Sarwar reading from her literary works. Sarwar is one of only 20 FY07 individual grant recipients from HAA and currently working on her second novel. She will read from her current work Black Wings, which was published in 2004 and recognized for its lush, charming and suspenseful story telling.

HAA will begin the event with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Literary Salon from 7 to 9 p.m. The public is invited to join HAA for the reception and the salon.
