SPLAB’s coming out party is Sat & Sun, Oct 24-25, at Bookfest, Columbia City Event Center, 3528 S. Ferdinand, one block from the Columbia City light rail station. Come see us at our booth near the poetry stage, at the stage itself (which SPLAB is coordinating), or attend our Panel Discussion on Sunday at 1 PM.

Topic: “Is Seattle Hostile to Literary Innovation?”
Panel: Sam Hamill, Judith Roche, John Olson, J.W. Marshall (of Open Books) and Sarah Mangold. Sam Hamill’s appearance at Bookfest is made possible by a grant from Poets & Writers.

Whew! We’re super busy gearing up for an incredible weekend at Bookfest. We’re sponsoring the Poetry Stage, and there’s a full line-up of incredible local poets. We’ve got volunteers lined up for our booth, marketing materials at the printer, and lots of little details to work out before Saturday. Come visit us and hear some great poetry.
