UntitledTown Book and Author Festival

Join us for a live podcast of "Think Again" with Jason Gots. Jason will be joined by Green Bay born and Brooklyn located Kristen Radtke for an in-depth discussion about life and literature. 

In Zen Buddhism, the concept of shoshin, also known as "beginner's mind," refers to the lack of preconceptions and an attitude of openness that come with learning a new skill or subject for the first time. We're not here to talk about Buddhism, but we are here to talk about what happens when two writers expand their artistic mediums to include working with film, sound, comedy, and the visual arts. In this dialogue, writers Patricia Killelea and Monica McFawn share how moving beyond page-based writing re-introduces "beginner's mind," invigorating approaches to writing, storytelling, and lyricism.

The Literary Lounge series will feature area authors and their work in a casual wine lounge atmosphere. Authors will read from their work and be available for signing copies of their book afterward.

Never judge a book by its cover and never judge a literary art by the lack of a book. Panel discussion about all the things that aren't traditional book narratives, moderated by UWGB's own Bryan Carr.

With inspiration from a few contemporary examples and guidance from a series of prompts, participants will experiment with poems that address an inanimate object, element of nature, a celebrity or historical figure, or even the whole world.

Space is limited. Reserve your place in this workshop by using our free ticketing system that will guarantee you are able to join the event.

Tickets for this event are available here at 10 am on March 20th.

One of the most vibrant poetic voices in our time, Smith takes on the big questions with verve, power, and beauty: race and identity, our bloody history and its unrelenting legacy, the erotic as liberation and muse.
