7:00 PM – Aaron Silverberg, Laurie Scullin, and Mimi Allin: Poetry Reading
Fremont Place Books
Aaron Silverberg has written 2 books, Thoreau’s Chair and Diamonds Only Water Can Wear. Laurie Scullin is a local therapist, who writes because it’s in his Irish blood and writing is a relatively cheap addiction. A.K. “Mimi” Allin, the Poetess at Green Lake, has planned numerous urban maneuvers. Allin curates Untitled [Intersection]” a poetry and performance art series in Seattle’s Phinney Neighborhood Center.

7:00 PM – Elaine Showalter: A Jury Of Her Peers : American Women Writers From Anne Bradstreet To Annie Proulx
UW Bookstore, U-District
The groundbreaking feminist scholar and critic discusses her newest book, feminism, and no doubt many, many other topics with Seattle’s favorite librarian, Nancy Pearl. (Yes, I know she no longer works for the SPL, but while you can take the Librarian out of the Library, she is still a Secret Master of the Universe.)

7:30 PM – Matthew & Michael Dickman: Poetry Reading
Elliott Bay Book Co.
Elliott Bay’s website places this event at Benaroya Hall, as of 3/18, but I think that’s a mistake. In any case, the poetic twins are visiting from Portland to read from their respective debut collections.
