March 27th – Words We Love Too – Reading Series

 It’s that time of year again! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and local authors are excited to share more of the words they love. Come and grab a comfy couch and listen to Alex Dannemiller, Jenny Forrester,James Bernard Frost, Celeste Gurevich, Nicole Rosevear, Kevin Sampselland Leni Zumas read locally written prose and poetry that we think you simply have to hear.

Utterly adorable Gigi Little will be hosting!

(For those new to WWL, the premise is simple: our readers will not be reading their own work at the event; instead they’ll be sharing something they’ve selected by different writers in Oregon. The pieces they’ve chosen are all up to their personal preference–and more dependent on the words than the renown of any particular author.

You know when you’ve experienced some form of art that you just can’t wait to tell everyone about and so you call them or message them or jump up and down right next to them and say OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS?

This is kinda like that. And we hope to see you there.)
