Powell’s Booksellers Reading

ILWU Local 5 Union Hall 920 West Burnside, Portland, OR, United States

Not only is Powell's the cultural center of Portland, it's also full of people making amazing literary art of their own. They may look like mild-mannered booksellers and cashiers, but you have no idea! Hosts Mark Savage and Kevin Sampsell introduce Melissa Amstutz, Ryan Hall, Cosima Bee Concordia, Mia Vicino, Ariel Kusby, Elizabeth Neal, Kyan Oliver Furlong, and Francesca DeMusz in this special Powell's employee/Local 5/Deep Overstock showcase. Come see us during your LitCrawl 2019 festivities.
