Literary Seattle — Upcoming Events
By Kevin Murphy
25 Years of Black Heron Press
DSM changed its headquarters in June. We moved from Charleston, SC to Vashon, an island near Seattle. It’s been a dramatic change — a change filled with pleasant surprises, unique challenges and refreshing experiences. Take for instance Seattle’s literary community. It is large, eclectic and vibrant. Hundreds of authors, dozens of publishers and booksellers call Seattle home. This coming Monday, August 10th, that community will help Black Heron Press celebrate 25 years of book publishing.
The event starts at 7:30 and is hosted by the Elliot Bay Book Company.
From the Elliot Bay Books Web site:
Founded by writer Jerome Gold and based here all these twenty-five years, Black Heron Press has been a vital part of literary goings-on here and beyond. One of those enterprises driven by excellence, passion, and commitment, Black Heron has had over 50 important, unique works published, primarily fiction and literary non-fiction. Among the many possible writers to read/be on hand tonight are Ron Dakron, Laurie Blauner, Judith Roche, and Luke Salisbury, with others to be part of it all. Here for sure will also be Jerry Gold, the one who has made Black Heron possible.
DSM will be in attendance. We look forward to learning more about Black Heron Press, as well as getting to know and interacting with our new literary brethren.
See you Monday!
