Literal Latte Reading
at Think Coffee (1 Bleecker at Bowery, 6 train to Bleeker or BDFV to Broadway/Lafayette)
In Honor of World Read Aloud Day
March 3rd, 8pm
Free of charge
On Wednesday, March 3 at 8:00 pm, Literal Latte will be have four wonderful writers reading aloud at Think Coffee.
The reading coincides with World Read Aloud Day, a program highlighting the joys of reading to children around the world. What better way to do so than to show them that adults enjoy being read to as well. In the spirit of the day, we have invited a class of second graders to listen. We expect they will be our toughest critics yet.
The reading will feature Ben Miller, Anne Pierson Wiese, Luke Fiske and Maria Terrone.
Luke Fiske has published in Connecticut Review, Georgetown Review, The Painted Bride Quarterly, New Contrast, and in A City Imagined: Cape Town and the Meanings of a Place. He won first prize in the Georgetown Review Contest, and 3rd-place in the Glimmer Train Family Matters Contest. He is finishing a collection of short stories, titled The Vanishing Point, and a novel.
Ben Miller’s work can be found in recent or forthcoming issues of The Kenyon Review, AGNI, Alaska Quarterly Review, Ecotone, Raritan and The Antioch Review. His nonfiction has appeared in the Best American Essays anthology, and awards include a creative writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
