HOCUS Live Zoom Event: ENCHANTMENTS

Online N/A, Portland

A live Zoom reading/ceremony/goof featuring poetry, fiction, ridiculous rituals and completely serious puns. Writing is magic! Writing is ritual. HOCUS a Portland, Oregon-based community of writers dedicated to the liturgies of literature, the creeds of creation, the sacraments of the synonym. We prostrate ourselves at the temple of Times New Roman. HOCUS is an episodic, eclectic, and occasionally unhinged series of readings and gatherings. Our themed readings emphasize prose of all lengths (from prose poems to novel excerpts) with an emphasis on still-emerging writers. Our events also focus on building community and connections between writers.​ HOCUS is seeking like-minded initiates to the Order to share their writings and their journeys at our public readings.
