Join Pacific Northwest authors Gabrielle Bates and Chelsea Martin for an afternoon of poetry and prose. Gabrielle Bates will read from her debut poetry collection Judas Goat followed by Chelsea Martin reading from her debut novel Tell Me I’m an Artist. Chelsea and Gabrielle both approach their craft in ambitious and unique ways, sharing poems and stories that are at once intimate and unshakable. After reading their work, Chelsea and Gabrielle will be in conversation with Spokane’s own Sharma Shields, writer and author of the short story collection, Favorite Monster, and two novels, The Sasquatch Hunter’s Almanac and her most recent, The Cassandra.

To attend this event, you must purchase a Book Fair & Events Pass which covers entry into our two-day Book Fair and all 17 events taking place at the Montvale Event Center. Tickets will go on sale Monday, March 20th at 8am.
