The good folks at Rattle Magazine have asked me to come out for the Wrightwood Literary Festival! This is an annual event that seeks to foster participation in the arts in and around Wrightwood, and to share the beauty of the San Gabriel Mountains with the broader arts community. Staffed by local artists and volunteers, there are literary readings, workshops, and forums for all ages, set high among the big pines, providing inspiration and a day to create, tell stories, and experience nature that will have a lasting impact year-round. Imagine a whole mountain full of art and artists! SO FAR, I know that I’ll be joined by guest author Victoria Patterson and  2016 WW LitFest slam champion Kelly Grace Thomas.  Please visit www.wrightwoodlitfest.com for updates and registration.
