stop the seattle nice
You might have heard of the "Seattle freeze" socially, but in the lit scene, it's all about the "Seattle nice," which actually isn't nice for sustaining a vibrant artistic community. When friends give glowing reviews of friends and negative reviews are about a personal grudge, forwarding literary criticism comes to a standstill. Sunday, Seattle Poetry Panels will explore the future of lit crit in the PNW.
Join Paul Nelson in conversation with Daemond Arrindell, Christine Deavel, Graham Isaac, and Kate Lebo on Sunday at 7 p.m. It's a Google Hangout, so you can bring your own booze.
