SOUL / ALMA will feature readings from Belfast-based poets Leontia Flynn and Dawn Watson, and former Poet Laureate for Texas, Jenny Browne. They will be joined by Austin-based actor Samantha Ledezma Montenegro, and musicians Andrea Magee and Lesly Reynaga, with a special preview of a music video from Belfast artist Arborist.
