AWP Offsite: Literary Masquerade

Beech Street Parlor 412 NE Beech St., Portland, OR, United States

The Conium Review is hosting an #AWP19 offsite event at Beech Street Parlor. Join us at this charming old Victorian that has been converted into a bar and event space. Lounge on one of the many vintage fainting couches in your best approximation of Olivia Colman from The Favourite, and enjoy readings from Rita Bullwinkel, Charlie Brown, John Englehardt, Ashley Farmer, James R. Gapinski, Chelsea Harris, Liz Kellebrew, & Christine Texeira. Ridiculously formal attire is encouraged, but we forgive all those who only pack t-shirts and jeans for AWP. Readings start at 7:00, DJ starts at 9:00.
