On Wednesday, June 16th, at from 8 till 9:30pm, I'll be taking part in a salon discussion on the development of an individual aesthetic as part of Lighthouse Writers' 5th Annual LitFest.

Here's the description:

We all know that we develop our own particular barometer of great writing, both as readers and as writers, but how does that happen? How does a writer refine his or her own sense of what is beautiful and worthwhile in a world teeming with books? We'll talk to writers, including award-winning poet Jake Adam York, who have strong opinions on the topic, and who will help us chart a course through the development of their own literary taste. Contribute to the conversation or spend the evening building your reading list, thinking in a new way about the writing life, and raising a glass to the appreciation of the written word. Come early for a seat and to order food/drink.

The location of this discussion has not yet been set, but updates will be posted here (follow the link).
