Rooted Words is a group participation reading event, open to all. Bring a short selection (5 minutes or less) of your own writing in any genre, fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, new or old, well-polished or in-process or half-baked and stalled out. All contributions are welcomed, all efforts celebrated, just coming to listen is also fine. Snacks and beverages provided, and your pot-luck contributions are always appreciated. We usually socialize for the first half hour, and then start the readings and go until there’s nothing left to say.
