Lots of words are going to be hatching up this spring in Portland.  I'll be reading some of mine at a fun event in April. Oh, and this one involves wine, too! The First Wednesday Reading Series is co-hosted by the Oregon Literary Review  and Blackbird Wine Shop.  Here's the scoop.

Oregon Literary Review co-hosts First Wednesdays, a series of readings, performances and wine-tasting at the Blackbird Wine Shop, 4323 NE Fremont, 7-9pm. This show is 21 and over. Contact Julie Mae Madsen at maemadsen@gmail.com for more information. 

The readers for April 7 are Jackie Shannon-Hollis, Peter Sears, Brian Christopher and Elizabeth Enslin.
