HEY! It’s the Grand Park Book Festival! Ever been? WELL COME ON DOWN!

In collaboration with the City of Los Angeles’ Big Read honoring the poetry of Emily Dickinson, Grand Park’s Downtown Bookfest turns Dickinson’s poetry inside out with performances by Cut Chemist + Hymnal, David Prather and Mayda Del Valle. Free hands-on activities include creating your own pieces of poetic genius with PUBLISH! by Writ Large Press, constructing handmade books using dried plant specimens, a photo booth with Victorian-era props and prose, free writing advice, 826LA’s never-ending story, and pop-up bookshops for literary lovers big and small.

Please come out and spend the day. The bookfest is a wonderful and vital event. There will be sights and activities of all kinds! EVERY YEAR IT GET’S BETTER! For more details, visit http://grandparkla.org/event/downtown-bookfest/

AT 4:00pm I’ll have the honor of sharing the stage with Kim Dower, Blas Falconer, Siel Ju, and Ron Koerte! Jon me!!!!!
