    POETRY PIT Episode 1— Aaron Quinn
    Feb 13 2026

    In our debut episode, Chattanooga-based poet Aaron Quinn steps into the pit to share his powerful, haunting words in an intimate live performance at Walnut Street Publishing.

    Aaron is a writer driven by an unending commitment to building community. Inspired by the mad, rad, off-kilter moments of life, his work is influenced by William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Sylvia Plath. His poetry and fiction often wade into the dark hope of the South, capturing snapshots that linger and haunt.
