BOLD is thrilled to host an author reading with Steve Arndt and the Spanbauerians!
Author and instructor Tom Spanbauer had a profound effect on many writers in the Portland area and beyond. Indeed, there are generations of Spanbauer writers who have gone on to publish, lead other writing groups, teach, and most importantly, continue the legacy of community and craft. Spanbauerian Steve Arndt leads the charge for this reading series, curating a selection of Spanbauer authors to read each quarter at BOLD Coffee & Books.
Readers for the fall reading include:
Monica Drake (Clown Girl, The Stud Book, The Folly of Loving Life)
Margaret Malone (People Like You)
Liz Scott (This Never Happened)
Bradley K. Rosen (Bunkie Spills)
Arrive at 6:30 p.m. to grab a snack or drink. The event will start at 7:00 p.m.
