Spokanity and Grohls

Dubbed by organizers as the “greatest assemblage of literary talent between the Snake River and the Salish Sea,” writers from both sides of the Evergreen State are uniting for an evening of poetry and prose. Writers from the Emerald City head to the Lilac City for a collaborative evening hosted by Seattle’s Pacifica Literary Review and Spokane’s (technically, Cheney’s) Willow Springs Review. Five writers presenting include our own Nance Van Winckel and Alexandra Teague. Then the following week, Willow Springs’ writers make the cross-state trek to host a similar event in Seattle with Pacifica, also with writers from the Los Angeles Review. Willow Springs editor Sam Ligon describes it as a collaborative, statewide version of the popular Pie & Whiskey event he organizes during Spokane’s Get Lit! festival.
