01/25/2025 - These Pages Are So Long: Readings of Poetry & Prose

Discover the stories behind the words at our upcoming poetry and prose reading event, THESE PAGES ARE SO LONG. Featuring a diverse lineup of talented local authors, this event delves into the themes of discipline, effort, consistency, and the arduous yet necessary tasks that shape our creative and personal lives.

What to Expect:
From heartfelt personal essays to evocative poetry and excerpts from published works or works in progress, each piece offers a unique exploration of the joys and challenges of perseverance. How does consistency shape the writing process—or life itself? What does it mean to achieve, or not achieve, through discipline? These questions and more will guide the evening’s readings.

Where: Black Cat Fables (415 S. Myrtle Avenue, Suite B, Monrovia, CA 91016)
