Their writing represents the history, culture, conflicts and dynamic nature of America

NEW BLOG

 

2007 is coming to an end and a new year begins. I hope this note finds you all with blessings to count and a slain demon or two.

I’ve started a Blog: Per Se, “The Realism of Speculative Fiction”.  It attempts to characterize the genre of Speculative Fiction, which is constantly in flux, as well as point to a few examples.  I hope you’ll pop by from time to time. http://therealismofspeculativefiction.blogspot.com/  or sign up to receive an email whenever I post. Also, I have three dates in 2008: readings at Seattle’s Rainbow Bookfest, April 5th at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center and an invitation to read at Evergreen College’s Conference on “Activism and the Avant Garde”, Saturday May 24th—Sunday May 25th.  As these dates approach, I’ll send out reminders. I hope to see you at one or both of theses dates.  You’re support would be much appreciated!

Readings From The Vernal Equinox of Death and Kisses @ Hugo House

What happens when a biker chases down a mythical goddess, or a rogue fisherman’s face catches fire? How will the South Wind keep his evil brother the North from taking the life of a little girl? What does an octopus have in common with a lighted window in a Victorian home, and how does spring visit the denizens of West Seattle with both life and death?

On Tuesday May 2nd, co-sponsored by Richard Hugo House Performing Writers program, widely published author Antonio Hopson answers these questions and more in readings from his anthology of short stories entitled “The Vernal Equinox of Death and Kisses”.  Dru Pagiassotti, Editor in Chief of the acclaimed Harrow Magazine, says: "Antonio Hopson spins gentle legends and quiet love stories.  From biker goddesses to mythical tricksters, from feuding winds to debauched taverns, the subjects of "The Vernal Equinox of Death and Kisses and Other Short Stories" reveal the author's romantic enchantment with the world around him, even when it's at its grittiest." 7-9pm. Cost is $7 at the door.  All proceeds donated to Rainer Scholars. Libations, coffee and tea served. More information can be found at HugoHouse.Org. Richard Hugo House
1634 11th Ave. Seattle, WA 98122.
