Time 7:00pm

Location: Target Performance Hall at The Loft, 1011 Washinton Avenue South

Cost:  Free

Holy Cow! Press and the Loft present a publication reading for the anthology When Last on the Mountain: The View from Writers over 50, edited by Vicky Lettmann and Carol Roan.

The perspective of the over-fifty writer takes on the hues of both past and future, tinted by memories of first love, stained by memories of war and loss, and made more poignant by the knowledge that this spring’s blooms or this morning’s cup of coffee with a beloved may be the last and must be savored fully. These essays, stories, and poems were chosen from more than two thousand submissions of previously unpublished work. Some of the contributors—a poet laureate, a Pulitzer Prize nominee, a former foreign correspondent—have long literary histories; others—a social worker, a civil service employee, a clergywoman—began to write later in life. Sometimes humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching, this gathering of new work by writers over fifty is always honest.

These contributors are scheduled to read:

•Beverly Cottmann
•Georgia Greeley
•Carla Hagen
•Mara Hart
•Ilze Mueller
•James Stanton
•Joyce Sutphen
