Poet Carrie Czwakiel will read from her work at the Social Justice Center, 33 Central Ave., Albany on Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 7:30PM. Carrie Czwakiel has lived in the Capital District since she was three years old and currently lives in the Scotia-Glenville area with her 16-year-old autistic son.
