Please join us in the BACKYARD at Unnameable Books in Prospect Heights for a SPRINGY/BALMY evening of writers reading their writing out loud in front of a listening group of people (who may or may not be "writers") and then hanging out for a while after doing important things like goofing, star-gazing, and discussing the arts.

Kindly bring your own soft and hard beverages.

Here are very short biographies of the fantastic reading writers:
