Melissa Anne Peterson
February 13, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeSet against the backdrop of a decaying Pacific Northwest lumber town, Melissa Anne Peterson’s Vera Violet (Counterpoint) is a debut that explores themes of poverty, violence, and environmental degradation as played out in the young lives of a group of close-knit friends. Peterson’s voice is powerful and poetic, her vision unflinching. Peterson’s brilliant, explosive debut establishes her as a fresh, raw voice and a writer to be reckoned with.
