OLIVIA DRESHER & FRIENDS
Saturday, June 17 at 4:30 p.m.

Seattle publisher and anthologist Olivia Dresher writes in fragments—and champions its place as a literary form, arguing persuasively for its presence in literature over the centuries. She and a few others are expected here today to read from and talk about fragments and the new anthology, In Pieces: An Anthology of Fragmentary Writing (Impassio). Among those included in the book are Phyllis Koestenbaum, Carlos V. Reyes, Yannis Ritsos, William Pitt Root, and Kim Stafford. "In Pieces suggests that the smallest scraps of writing can be the most powerful—and how could it be otherwise? In a movie, isn't it the tiniest glimmer in an actor's eye that makes the film? In a book, doesn't a single turn of phrase capture our imaginations forever?" - Geof Huth.
