-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please join us for readings and reception, celebrating the arrival of new books by Texas environmental activist Diane Wilson and New Orleans poet Lee Meitzen Grue, with musical guest Ponty Bone. The Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast Shindig & Soiree will take off from 4-7pm on June 25, 2011—at Pine Street Station, studio of Austin artist Reji Thomas, 1101 E 5th at Waller.
Diane Wilson, author of An Unreasonable Woman, will read from her latest book: Diary of an Eco-Outlaw. A Dobie-Paisano Fellow and 4th generation Texas Gulf Coast shrimper, Diane has been arrested more than 50 times for civil disobedience.
Lee Meitzen Grue, author of Live on Frenchman Street and Goodbye Silver, Silver Cloud will read from her latest book: Downtown. A New Orleans native, editor of the New Laurel Review and owner of B.J.’s Bar in the Bywater, Lee captures the rhythms and ambiguities of the Gulf region with her critically-acclaimed poetry.
Bookwoman, the only feminist bookstore in Texas, will help with the book sales. Diane and Lee will be delighted to autograph copies.
Lee’s Hurricane Party will be there with his Cajun food trailer.
It's going to be a lot of fun!
Time: Saturday, June 25 · 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Location: Pine Street Station 1101 E 5th (5th & Waller) Austin, TX
