This Thursday night, Ballard Branch Library co-sponsors one of the longest running reading series in our city: It’s About Time Writers Reading Series #258
Esther Helfgott will emcee this 2nd Thursday reading, #258 in a monthly series that stretches back a few decades. Esther, one of Seattle’s literary treasures and a writer herself, has nurtured and mentored countless writers by providing a place for them to read their work.
As Esther puts it: “This reading series exists for all those who want to write.” It is egalitarian. It is open. It is always unpredictable. It continues to serve as a crossroads for writers from the entire Seattle Metropolitan area. Esther says poetry is the “rhythmic reflection of the human condition.” It’s About Time is that as well.
Have you got a poem in your drawer? Maybe this Thursday April 14th at 6:00 p.m. you could bring it along to the Ballard Branch and sign up for one of the three-minute slots to share them with like-minded folks.
The world is waiting. It’s about time…
~ Lynn M., Ballard.
