In Denver? Lured to the area by beer or the annual AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Projects) Conference? Come watch some people read out loud! You heard me. Words, in the air. What an engaging concept.
This is the first reading of its kind, bringing together OW Press/Outsider Writers Collective authors and members of the writing community, The Velvet, for a night of varied readings, from published works, to newly published works, to as-yet-published works. Many of these authors are meeting for the first time, and perhaps for the last time, so regrettable actions are to be expected.
| When: Friday, April 9th Time: 6pm – 9pm Where: Leela’s European Cafe, 820 15th Street, Denver, CO 80202-3209; (303) 534-2255 Occasion: because we have vocal cords about to expire Cost: Just a sliver of your soul Monetary cost: FREE. And, if you buy a drink at Leela’s you’ll get a discount on books purchased during the reading. |
