Best of Toledo 2011- Literary Artist, Toledo City Paper

Thanks to all my local friends, family and fans for this honor. I will admit, when I read that they were calling me 'bawdy' I took immediate offense, but after a few moments (and remembering that I had to miss the award ceremony because I had a performance at an erotic reading scheduled for the same evening) I realized that its true to the fullest meaning of the word. Its nice to be a part of what makes Toledo Toledo.

Literary artist (poetry, prose and spoken word)
Douglas Lutman
"We’ve got lots of talented writers — it can be hard for a shy and retiring literary artist to stand out. Luckily, Douglas Lutman isn’t. He’s as good a performer as he is a poet, and if you’ve been to venues like Glass City Cafe to see his fast and flamboyant readings of his lyrical and sometimes bawdy work, you won’t forget it.
Runner up: Ryan Bunch"
