Join us for an intimate reading and conversation held in the Central Library’s Inland Northwest Special Collections Room featuring two writers whose work is rooted in the history and landscape of the West.
CMarie Fuhrman and
Betsy Gaines Quammen will both read their work and engage in conversation with Sharma Shields and festival attendees about how research and history have impacted their writing over many books and projects spanning both poetry and prose. Library staff will help pull special artifacts like photographs, maps, and other materials that scrutinize and complicate our region and may connect directly to CMarie and Betsy’s work. Hear about the fascinating process of incorporating research into your creative work and learn how the library can help! Purchase the author's books
via Auntie's Bookstore!This event is free and open to the public. Please note that capacity is limited, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure a seat. Also, no food or drink is allowed in the Special Collections Room for the purpose of preserving artifacts. We would like to thank
Spokane Public Library for their partnership!
