About this Event
Phoenix summers getting you down? Missing all the talks, classes, workshops, and readings? Swing back into the literary season with a casual community get-together at our Summer Social Fundraiser, Saturday, August 25, 2018 at Changing Hands Phoenix (300 W Camelback Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85013) from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
While there will be a brief welcome from Piper Center Director and Arizona inaugural Poet Laureate Alberto Álvaro Ríos at 6:30 p.m., drop by any time to enjoy a beverage with fellow writers and readers, meet the Piper Center staff, and learn more about all of the exciting events we have planned for the upcoming year. Light refreshments will be provided.
There will also a silent auction featuring:
- Signed books from Hanif Abdurraqib, Ramona Ausubel, James Sallis, Alberto Ríos and other Piper Center visiting writers and staff
- Editing sessions and consultations with Dan Beachy-Quick, Carolina Ebeid, James Sallis, Felicia Zamora, Katie Berta, and Jake Friedman
- Special gifts and experiences like an afternoon tennis match with Sally Ball and Steve Abell of ASU's MFA in Creative Writing Program, making your own journal with Managing Director Angie Dell, and ephemeral hybrid travel writing from Graduate Assistant Kalani Pickhart
