Tons of Seattle-area events this week

We couldn't have asked for a better week—starting today—for Wave author events. Tonight the Hugo House hosts Mary Ruefle for a talk on imagination at the Frye Art Museum here in Seattle. But that just kicks things off. The coming week we'll have CAConrad, Dara Wier, Don Mee Choi, and Eileen Myles all here for talks, lectures, performances, awards, and bookfairs. Details are below and also at our calendar. If you live around or are visiting the Puget Sound, come say hello at one of these events!
