Joint Work

read from three bizarre and exciting
literary collaborations
with heart

Kelly Writers House February 14, 4pm

Thanks to all who attended Joint Work and made the reading a great success. Amazingly, although it was a Saturday and the Day of Love, The Arts Café was packed. Everyone seemed to enjoy our readings from 2002: A Palindrome Story, Implementation, and The Unknown. Many thanks to the Writers House, and particularly to Jen Snead; also, thanks to Jill Walker for the photos below.
