Sample Me – PEN America at Lit Crawl Portland
November 9, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm
FreeWhen entering a drug store’s beauty aisle, you’re confronted with skincare labels and color palettes that don’t blend into reality: dry, oily, combination; apricot, chestnut, espresso, and more. Join PEN America for Lit Crawl Portland: Phase 1 at Aesop West End with “Sample Me,” a reading on the worst thing writers have ever done to or put on their skin. Featuring Brandon Jordan Brown, Janet W. Hardy, Julayne Elle Lee, and Juan Carlos Reyes.
“When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.” – Virginia Woolf
