Burning "After-Word" Party!

Join A Book for All Seasons and the Washington Poets Association at d'Vinery—Eagle Creek Winery's recently renovated tasting room—for the Burning "After-Word" Party!

Enjoy the work and words of special guests: performance-art poet Angel Latterell, and Michael Schein, author of Bones Beneath our Feet. Guests will also enjoy free tastings and "poet's discounts" on Eagle Creek Winery's unique, artistan wines. A perfect way to celebrate and cement this year's successes, and bid adieu until next year.

Angel Latterell is a poet and performance artist who pushes the boundary of poetic expression through incorporation of dance, music, story and collaborative energy into her creations. Her first full-length stage production combining all these elements entitled Intersection: a spoken word opera debuted in December 2007 at the Richard Hugo House, and her second My People Never Grew Corn is in process. Angel's written word appeared in Chanter and Banshee literary journals and she has performed spoken word vignettes with jazz and modern dance artists around the country. Angel is an attorney for artists and a devoted practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism. In her native habitat she can be spotted enjoying jazz music, walking around Pike Place Market, holding a notebook and enjoying life.

Michael Schein, Burning Word Artistic Director, is the author of a literary crime novel, two historical novels, a play, and a logorrhea of poems. Bones Beneath Our Feet, Michael's new historical novel of the conquest of Puget Sound by the "Boston" tribe, will be released July 1st. His first novel, Just Deceits, has been keeping readers up late since 2008. Michael teaches poetry and fiction at Port Townsend Writers Conference. He is Director of LiTFUSE Poets' Workshop, and BURNING WORD at Icicle Creek Music Center. His poetry has been widely published, nominated for the Pushcart twice, and stuck to refrigerators by magnets.
