Love to write? Love a challenge? Join us for the monthly Mini-SLEDGEHAMMER Writing Contest! You'll be given four prompts, and 36 minutes to work them into a piece of impromptu short fiction. Stories will be judged,
and winners will take home prizes. We'll provide notepads and nibbles, though you're welcome to bring your laptop. This event will start promptly at 7, so arrive a little early to fix yourself a plate and get
energized to write.
We would like to thank our partner, Indigo Editing, for cosponsoring this event!

The Market Day Poetry Series is cosponsored by the St. Johns Farmers'
Market, and curated by Portland poet Dan Raphael.  Join us at noon each
Farmers' Market Saturday through 15 October, to enjoy a wide spectrum of
expression from over 50 participating poets! Each reading is emceed by a
different poet, who in turn selects guest readers. It's like opening a
new magazine each week.

Shawn Sorensen
hosts and reads in our season wrap-up.
 Anatoly Molotkov is a writer, composer, filmmaker and visual artist who will share a set of his creative work.  Jodie Manion
is an Attic Atheneum graduate and up-and-coming talent on the
Portland/beyond poetry landscape.  The event will be accompanied
throughout by the acoustic guitar stylings of the talented Kenny West, a relative newcomer to the Portland scene.

To celebrate the close of an amazing season of poetry, we'll have fresh local nibbles...please join us!
