Portland’s long-running Loggernaut reading series challenges three friends to read on the theme “CHARGE” this Wednesday (6/13/12). Lisa Wells (poet of Beast from Bedouin Books), Jac Jemc (Author of My Only Wife from Dzanc) and James Bernard Frost (A Very Minor Prophet, freshly released from Hawthorne Books) will grace Ristretto Roasters (3808 NE Williams Ave.) with their work at 7:30 on the nose. Loggernaut draws a big crowd to this small café, so come early for a good seat! Loggernaut, which is curated by the ever-thoughtful Erin Ergenbright, Jesse Lichtenstein, and Pauls Toutonghi, also keeps an online archive of interviews and conversations with authors and luminaries.
