Poetry Reading: Elizabeth Austen and Claudia Castro

To people in the fiction writing business, November is known by the quirky acronym “NaNoWriMo.” That’s National Novel Writing Month. A non-profit organization, NaNoWriMo states its purpose as “valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline.” It wants to inspire “anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel.”

On November 7, personal inspiration will come in the forms of Washington State Poet Laureate Elizabeth Austen and Seattle Civic Poet Claudia Castro Luna.  They will read from their works from 1 to 2 p.m.
