Autumn is the most bookish of the seasons, I think. Come get cozy and let us tell you stories. And read poems. And answer questions.
Our beloved readers this month:
Passionate about the intersection between social justice and art, poet, educator, and Black Girl Dangerous editor-in-training Tessara Gabrielle Dudley will be reading selected poems.
Mother-daughter writerly duo Ruby and Patricia McConnell will each be reading original pieces with intermingling themes. Ruby is a writer, dancer and geologist from Eugene, and her mother Patricia is a poet.
Fiction writer Christine Fadden's work appears in Hobart, Gulf Coast, and PANK, among other publications. An excerpt from her novel-in-progress--which honors the healing powers of sports on young girls' broken lives--won the 2014 Tennessee Williams Literary Festival Prize, and will be published next spring in Louisiana Literature.
Our first Tell It Slant alumni to return, poet and musician Trevino Brings Plenty has a new collection of poetry out in the world--Removing Skin. If you missed him last time, don't make the same dumb mistake again. I'm serious.
Come early to get a seat.
