Just a quick reminder to former students, friends, and others who've expressed interest, my next reading class, Dead Letters: Written Accounts of Mortality, begins Saturday, October 8 at Hugo House and runs six weeks.

 

For those who would like a detailed reading list (to preview or, if you've already signed up, to get started), I have a course page here: http://encke.org/dead-letters-written-accounts-of-mortality/ 

Please pass this information along to friends and let me know if you have any questions.

Finally a smart and well curated literary space for writers of color that encourages experimentation. A place to commune. A place to read new contemporary voices that deserve our attention. Bravo!

Kweli has featured the prose of Jeffery Renard Allen, Angie Cruz, Victor LaValle and Nelly Rosario, . . . the poetry of Santee Frazier, Lorna Goodison and John Murillo, . . . and photo essays by Thomas Sayers Ellis, Rachel Eliza Griffiths and Emily Raboteau.

Sep 16 reading at Elliott Bay Books: Arlene Kim and Anne Overstreet

From Arlene:

You—yes, you!—are invited to my book launch at Elliott Bay Books (1521 10th Ave, Seattle—in Cap Hill) on Sep 16, Fri, 7:00pm. I'll be reading from my new collection of poems, What have you done to our ears to make us hear echoes?, along with friend/fellow poet Anne Overstreet, who also has a book of poetry just out, Delicate Machinery Suspended. (Psst: secret little handmade goodies for anyone who buys a book at the reading.)
