  Singer signs poetry book at First Thursday Latino
  Poet and songstress Amaryllis Santiago will read from her new book of poems, "Poetry From Within," and sign books during a First Thursday Latino networking event.
  
  Free to the public, it runs 6-9 p.m. May 6 at the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, 150-152 S. Prince St. The event's theme is "Embracing Diversity, Building Relationships."
  
  Santiago will also sing several numbers from her musical repertoire there. But don't confuse the Columbia resident's poetry with her music.
  
  It "isn't simply an extension of her professional singing career, but rather a thoughtful voice celebrating those who have inspired her and [she] likewise hopes to leave a mark on readers of her poems," a press release explains.
  
  The first poem in the book is her eighth-grade musings on love; other poems were penned during her teens and throughout adulthood. Many express her Christian faith; one is a meditation on 9/11. The 79-page paperback has numerous black-and white illustrations. Published through Xlibris, it is priced at $9.99.
