We are thrilled to be so busy!
After too much time spent trudging through the molasses that is pandemic event-panning, this year has proven to be a wellspring of opportunities, growth, and new friends. There’s so much coming up that we can't wait to tell you about. In the meantime, you can still register for our April 1st celebration of National Poetry Month at Grace Cathedral, and you can submit your event ideas for Litquake 2022. Literature’s return to live events is a group effort, and we’re so pleased to see everyone pitching in. See you next week! |
