Poets Laureate Reading: Tod Marshall, Laura Read & Thom Caraway

It’s a big deal for our region’s writing community — penners of poetry and prose alike — that Spokane’s own Tod Marshall was chosen earlier this year as the next Washington state Poet Laureate. Since taking on the title, it's already been a busy time for the Gonzaga University professor; he traveled to Olympia to promote the arts to the state legislature and to meet with Gov. Jay Inslee. Now back in Spokane, Marshall is joined this week by current Spokane Poet Laureate Laura Read and former Spokane laureate Thom Caraway for a special group reading at Auntie’s. Don’t miss a chance to hear all three sling some creative phrases and words at the mic, all on the same night.
