News and Hello from Denise Calvetti Michaels

I'm grateful to Lindy for her work to create our Kenmore Reading Series Blog.  Thank you!
This blog provides a space to network and to share information about our upcoming featured writers such as Loreen Lilyn Lee scheduled for November 16th (bio below). 
Please invite a friend to meet with us for a salon-like experience as we support local writers.  We'll also offer open mic so bring a poem or one page of prose.

My thanks to Espresso Cafe for hosting Kenmore Reading Series where the coffee is always hot and the tea and pastries delicious.
