A Busboys and Poets event hosted this week by Orville Walker
Orville the Poet is Orville Walker Jr., one in the same. That’s why I don’t have a pen name or stage name, Orville the Poet is Orville the person. I’m a regular guy who happens to be observant and who was lent the great gift of words. Just trying to inspire those around me one poem at a time.
