Like Picasso's monochromatic work of the early 20th century, winter can be a bit...somber. All the more reason to join together with the literary Picassos of today—especially when all of them are women!

This offsite AWP reading is multi-genre and held at the beautiful Blue Gallery, only a *ten minute walk* from the Convention Center. Reading poetry, nonfiction, and fiction, the following authors are taking the stage (a glorious fuchsia throne on the gallery floor): Marcela Fuentes, Deborah Taffa, Amanda Gunn, Jen Moore, TaraShea Nesbit, JoAnna Novak, and Khaliah Williams. Eileen G'Sell hosts in a playful blue dress.
