We returned this month after our June hiatus to our favorite spot for outdoor readings, the patio at Colony Club. It was a warm <read: sweaty> summer night in DC <read: just how we like it>, and the sounds of sirens, helicopters and neighborhood kids made the evening somehow even more artful. Here we were, lucky to be gathered together, sharing words, sharing art, sharing community in a time when it seems our world so desperately needs it. Tara Laskowski kicked off the event
