SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY is POETRY POETRY POETRY
Sure, you could come out to the Seattle Poetry Festival on Saturday for poetry luminaries like Richard Siken and Mary Jo Bang. Or friends like Martha Silano and Peter Pereira. Or to see slam poets go up alongside academic poets like Heather McHugh for the sheer fun of it.
But, if you make it to The Richard Hugo House in Capitol Hill by 11:45-12:15, you get a chance to see me and fellow co-editor of Crab Creek Review, Natasha K. Moni, go old-skool head-to-head with our “bad girls lost in a dark wood”-style poetry. Becoming the Villainess will be available for sale for 30 minutes afterwards while I sign books. After that I will be hanging out as a spectator, catching all the cool poetry action. Don’t miss it!
