POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Our iconic reading at Word Virus. I refused to let go of that damn can! #Joner

I loved reading my short story about trying and failing to be a sugar baby when I was 25. Should I write a sequel? Fiction is so much fun. Poetry, watch your back hun! Short stories might be coming for your gig! The last thing we need is for me to start doing autofiction again. #Real

HIRE THESE WRITERS! They're young, fertile and looking for opportunities! @kayanoteboom @vi.phobic

May Wall Press presents three works by three local writers in the upstairs gallery at Word Virus, Portland's most "if you know you know" bookstore and event space.

Kaya Noteboom @kayanoteboom is a writer often found entering or exiting rooms. She is co-host of Access Code, a monthly critical theory and cultural criticism reading group, and recently launched the Perfect Medium reading series with Fonograf Editions.

Judy Thorn @judyinterrupted is a writer with good manners. She is editor of May Wall Press and curator of Bloomers Poetry Club, a monthly poetry cabaret for emerging writers and artists in Portland. She was going to be on Think Out Loud, but it was cancelled last minute.

Violet Pitsker @vi.phobic is a writer whose favorite flower is not a violet, but a daphne. She is a McCormack Writing Center scholar and is working on her first novel.

Join us July 23 with a star studded cast of local deep thinkers. Full menu served, open late for a reading unlike any other. You will chuckle, maybe even laugh. Honored to be doing this at Coffee Time, which has been a gathering space for artists and writers for many years. FREE! (Tip your barista!)

BLIND PORTRAITS - 3/3/26

What a gift to laugh with others, to see and be seen, to express, to capture, to be.

At some point, you may be allowed to take these home as souvenirs. But for now, they are too precious to me. These are some of the greatest works of this century.

Will slowly tag people. Let me know if you would like to be removed, for whatever reason.
