The Process: Dianne Aprile, Debby Bacharach, Kelly Boyker

Our reading series, the Process, returns for December with three Seattle poets and essayists. Dianne Aprile is on the faculty at Spalding University’s low-residency MFA in Writing program and was selected for the 2019 Jack Straw Writers Program. Her current project is a family memoir, two excerpts from which were nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Debby Bacharach is the author of After I Stop Lying (Cherry Grove Collections, 2015), and her poems and essays have been published in the Antigonish Review, Arts & Letters, Calyx, Cimarron Review, New Letters and Poet Lore. And Kelly Boyker is a founding editor of Menacing Hedge, and is the author of a poetry chapbook, Zoonosis (Hyacinth Girl Press, 2014). Her work has appeared in many places, including PANK, Prick of the Spindle, Arsenic Lobster, Opium Magazine and FRiGG, and won the Richard Hugo House “Power of Place Annual Inquiry.” Come join us for fresh writing and an open discussion of the writing process.
