In other exciting news: two Gist Street alums have won 2008 Whiting Awards. A big congrats to Rick Hilles and Benjamin Percy!
Gist Street is extremely proud to announce our first foray into
podcasting: the pod-snack. Instead of a whole, big reading with lots
and lots of stories and poems, we offer a single delcious nugget.
Look for a new morsel the first Friday of each month.
Enjoy.
“What I appreciate about Gist Street is the informality and warmth of the space and the people. It's one of the most comfortable places I've read. It attracts a great crowd—the kind of people who'd be fun at a party.”
