WITS Students Read in Local Book Stores

Last week, WITS hosted end of residency celebration readings for Gresham High School at Maggie Mae’s Bookshop and Ida B. Wells High School at Annie Bloom’s Books. Gresham and Ida B. Wells students shared poetry, creative nonfiction, fiction, zines, and horror stories prompted by WITS writers, Meg Griffitts, Meaghan Loraas, Bruce Poinsette, Mark Pomeroy, and Damien Miles-Paulson.
