A Poet At Your Table
A Rare Opportunity For Book Groups
In cooperation with Seattle Arts and Lectures Poetry Series and Crab Creek Review
____________________________________________
It’s one thing to hear a poet perform in a large auditorium, but what if you could listen to a poet talk about her book in the comfort of your own home? The greater Seattle area boasts an impressive group of poets who want to connect with readers throughout Washington.
Join our second annual A Poet at Your Table season and receive an evening with an award-winning poet! A poet will visit your book group or gathering to discuss the process of creating her book, read poems, and answer questions about the writing life. We design a presentation that best fits your needs. In addition, your group is eligible to receive discounted tickets for the Seattle Arts and Lectures 2014-2015 Poetry Series.
Featuring Poets:
Frequently Asked Questions:
