The One Page Salon (called “the best literary evening in town” by the Austin American-Statesman) is a monthly reading series presented by the Writers’ League of Texas.
Five outstanding writers will read one page from a work in progress, which means the audience will be among the first to hear new material from our talented line-up: Dale Bridges, Hollie Hardy, Greg Marshall, Sergio Muro, and Bianca Alyssa Pérez. Plus, there will be literary chit chat and fun & games and laughter and so much more.
The One Page Salon takes place on the lovely outdoor patio (weather permitting) at Radio Coffee & Beer in South Austin where attendees can enjoy coffee and beer and other libations. There are some tasty food trucks if you want to pick up a bite to eat and Reverie Books will be on hand selling an assortment of great reads, including our readers’ latest books. Your host for the evening will be WLT Executive Director Becka Oliver.
Stephanie Nui's "Survived By: An Atlas of Disappearance" Book Launch
Host Publications is proud to celebrate the launch of Survived By: An Atlas of Disappearance by Stephanie Niu. Full of lament and wonder in equal measure, Niu’s poems are maps that guide us to a place of intimate attention where we can hold what is most vulnerable and tender on this planet, to better understand what has already been lost and what is currently at stake. These poems collect fragments of memory to shape an archive of things lost—from the fleeting raptures of childhood to the species nearing and beyond extinction.
Featured readers include: Stephanie Niu, cloud deflina cardona, and Bianca Alyssa Pérez. Hosted by editors Claire Bowman and Annar Veröld, audience members will have the chance to win chapbooks and an Alienated Majesty bookstore gift card. Free & open to all lovers of poetry. Masks are strongly encouraged.
