Broadway Books 1714 NE Broadway, Portland, OR, United States

Local author and writing instructor Joanna Rose leads a team of students and teachers reading from their own work on this high-energy night.

Literary Arts’ Youth Programs reinforce the real world importance of reading and writing. They work with high school age students in schools and organizations throughout Portland, East Multnomah County, and Oregon.

WITS Reading: Benson High School

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

Writers in the Schools (WITS) has served public high school students with creative writing residencies in Portland, and more recently Gresham, since 1996. Published local writers collaborate with classroom teachers to lead an immersive semester-long workshop series designed to further class themes, curricula, and student interests. Each residency culminates with a public reading, ordinarily held in a local café or bookstore. With distance learning, we look forward to hosting our reading on Zoom and invite you to join us in celebrating these students and their work. This end-of-residency reading will feature students who worked with WITS writers Jessica Mehta and Laura Moulton.
