Quiet Lightning: Neighborhood Heroes, V2 November 30, 2010

Every six months, Quiet Lightning invites eight stalwarts of the local literary scene to read or perform their writing in the series' traditional (but usually submission-based) format: no author introductions or banter, each show is a mash-up of fiction, missive and poetry that weaves varying patterns of language into a compelling and oft-intoxicating double set of literary mixtape madness. Readers include Kim Addonizio, Bucky Sinister, Charlie Jane Anders, Andrew O. Dugas, Ali Liebegott, Lauren Becker, Peg Alford Pursell, Gravity Goldberg, Jonathan Siegel, Alia Volz and Charlie Getter. You can purchase a book of the readings after the show for $10.
