who is blessing this festival?
Meet our Monday readers & performers!
Matthew Dickman is the author of All American Poem and co-author of 50 American Plays with his twin, Michael Dickman, among among other books. He is the poetry editor of Tin House Magazine and the co-founder of Poetry Serving Youth City by City. In 2009, he and his brother were the subject of a New Yorker profile.
Rebecca Brown has been published on City Lights Books more than any other writer. She has written more than a dozen books, including American Romances and Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary. She is a winner of the Lambda Literary Award and was the first writer-in-residence at Richard Hugo House.
Summer Robinson is the former owner of Pilot Books, Seattle's only small-press bookstore, Pilot Books, which served as the inspiration for APRIL. She is also a fiction writer. Her work has appeared in Everyday Genius, Small Doggies Magazine, among other places.
Jackie Hell has been described by The Stranger as, "Seattle's most world-famous pillow-stuffing, sequin-flashing drag entertainer." She started performing with Ursula Android at the Cabaret of Despair in the late '90s. Her occasional dead baby jokes have made Canadians throw beer bottles onstage at her.
We'll also be blessed by the music of Punishment (WT Statler) and the fortunes of Sarah Galvin.
See you at Chop Suey at 8 tonight!
