2023.3.8-11 AWP conference in town

Association of Writers and Writing Programs hosts its annual conference in Seattle's Convention Center. There're many events held in different restaurants, bars, and meeting rooms all around town. I went to a couple of these off-site events. I didn't quite like them. Instead of one author talking about a book in-depth, these are mostly a bunch of authors (often by the same publishing house) reading a piece of their works, so not much Q&A can be had. Maybe I picked the wrong one to go to. This particular one is at Folio in Pike Place Market, which I had wanted to check out. I only liked the one poem by this lady whose birthday happened to be that day. Too bad, I forgot her name.
