Siren Songs: Fine Wine and Writing
- All Ages, Bar with ID
Wine has captivated writers for centuries. Robert Louis Stevenson called wine “bottled poetry.” Hemingway said, “Wine is the most civilized things in the world.” Even Homer once wrote, “Wine can of their wits the wise beguile, make the sage frolic, and the serious smile."
In this tradition, Hugo House presents an evening of fine wine from Siren Songs and readings from Stacey Levine, Nicole Hardy, Kevin Craft, and Kenyon Brown. Each will read new work paired with the wines you'll sip.
Tickets are $15/$10 for Hugo House members and include four flights of wine. Additional wine will be for sale by Siren Songs.
Write-O-Rama
- All Ages
Schedules and more information about the day will be posted soon!
What is Write-O-Rama?
Write-O-Rama is a full day of dozens of workshops offered by Hugo House's writing teachers. Sample Hugo classes, dabble in different forms and genres, and share your fresh, new writing before the ink even dries at an open mic.
One of the best parts? Write-O-Rama is a fundraising event for Richard Hugo House. All money raised through registration goes directly to supporting our mission of fostering writers, building community, and connecting the Pacific Northwest with the world of writing.
