The Dictionary Project Presents!

Saturday, November 16
7 p.m
$5 suggested donation (to benefit Casa Libre)

Please join us for our fourth installment in The Dictionary Project Presents! reading series.

The Dictionary Project is an online literary project rooted in serendipity, play, and love of language. For the site, we pick a word at random from the dictionary and that word becomes the impetus for a piece of writing that week.

For The Dictionary Project Presents! reading, our readers get the word two weeks prior to the event and in that time, compose a piece to share with you that is born from that word.

We are delighted to have the following writers participating:

Em Bowen is a storyteller, a daughter, a writer, a sister, an amigo, a cat-owner, a story encourager, an editor, never a girlfriend, occasionally a boyfriend and always changing (much as we all are, whether we realize it or not). They went to college in a big university in the Southwest complete with a college town and artsy people. They preferred and still prefer the artsy people. They moved to Portland, Oregon for a while but now reside in Tucson, Arizona again where they like to imagine that they wake up every morning and kick each day in the face. Their work pieces through the human condition, queerness, honesty and the ways in which we learn to survive better.
