Zachary Schomburg, author of Hear Oars, organized a wonderful series of “off-campus” events during the 2019 AWP Conference called No Fair/Fair. Here is a great article about it that appeared in the Portland Mercury in the same issue as the Two Plum article!
These events included a two day book fair (the first Portland-area book fair in the spring, maybe ever?), and a Friday night epic reading with two locations and simultaneous readings every 20 minutes, from 5 p.m. to midnight.
Carol Ellis and Ross Robbins represented Two Plum Press during the Friday evening readings at Outlet. Zachary Schomburg read from his latest book, Pulver Maar, which includes pieces that first appeared in Hear Oars. Andrew read later that night representing Quotidian Press (run by Two Plum author Delphine Bedient).
Alex and Andrew hung deep with their water bottles at the book fair, nearby Quotidian and long-time pals Big Big Wednesday, where they even received a visit from esteemed author Chris Maday
