The 14th Annual Queer Girls Literary Reading, a series started in 2009 by UNC-Asheville English professor Lori Horvitz, will be held Sunday, October 22, at 5 p.m. at Tyger Tyger Gallery in the River Arts District. This year\u2019s lineup includes local and regional writers, UNCA students, and community members.<\/p>\n

For the first six years, the yearly event, a celebration of Asheville\u2019s queer literary women \u2014 including local and regional writers of varying ages, identities, races and abilities \u2014 took place in the library at the Phil Mechanic Studios in the River Arts District. Because of the growing interest and need for a larger venue, The Mothlight and Rabbit Rabbit have hosted the event.<\/p>\n

Admission to the event is by donation, with a $5-10 suggested donation. Tyger Tyger Gallery is located at 191 Lyman Street, Suite #144, in the River Arts District.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
