Join us at “The Lodge of Saint Reborlaro” for Seven Minutes in Heaven, a reading series of short prose. “The Lodge,” Tulsa Artist Fellow Heyd Fontenot’s takeover project of the Lewis Project Space (20 S. Lewis Ave, Tulsa), is open to all those who crave creative, intellectual and spiritual connection. This incubator, fashioned after artists’ salons, fraternal orders, service organizations and country churches, provides space for casual but meaningful exchange. Seven Minutes in Heaven is thrilled to be a part of the programming!

Featured readers include Katie Moulton, Aaron Whitestar, Christopher Murphy, and Kathryn Savage. Each reader will present a complete story in seven minutes; no excerpts, no poems, no songs—just four fantastic stories.

His specialties include crippling self-doubt, awkward conversations, and unending procrastination.

His work has been published at Gulf Coast (online),This Land, The Jellyfish Review, Necessary Fiction, decomP, and The Tulsa Voice, among others.
