Lip Service West
Leg Three | 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM | 03. Soja Mind/Body

Event Description

Lip Service West is a "gritty, real, raw," reading series. 1,500 words or less. All true. LSW tends to highlight the marginalized, the voiceless, the harrowing. Call it first-person narrative, non-fiction, urban noir.
