The “Uncensored” Gaze

American Legion Post 134 2104 NE Alberta St, Portland, OR, United States

If the "Untold" story was too R-rated to be read at the gallery... or on the radio... or at Powell's... its time has come! TEN of our authors will be reading their amazing - over-sexed, foul-mouthed, squirm-inducing, or otherwise just too damn "adult" - stories. Reading will be: Stephen Arndt, Liz Asch, Doug Chase, David Ciminello, Sean Davis, Dian Greenwood, Sara Guest, Robert Hill, Lisa Kaser, and Kevin Meyer... and maybe a surprise or two...?
