I'm going to step away from our Southern theme and head across the Atlantic for Friday night's event at breathe books: Angelo Solera, a local Latino community activist turned author, will discuss his memoir is about his 400-mile pilgrimage from Santiago to Compostela, Spain. The free event includes a video of Solera's spiritual pilgrimage.

Saturday at noon, you can head to Ukazoo for some free pizza as the store celebrates its anniversary. The food and festivities will last through 6 p.m.

After you get your fill, join a discussion of poetry by black poets Margaret Walker, Langston Hughes and Dudley Randall at the Cherry Hill branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

If that's not enough poetry for you, the Maryland State Poetry & Literary Society and Three Conditions Press sponsors the 2 Heads Poetry Series at Clayton Fine Books on Sunday.

As always, check out the Read Street calendar for even more events.
