Authors, Storytellers, Poets (Texas Edition)

“Storytelling is the essential human activity. The harder the situation, the more essential it is.” – Tim O’Brian

Storytelling, in all its forms, is the essence of human existence. The connection we build within spoken and unspoken words is so powerful. Now more than ever, it is important for us to support our authors… especially our local authors. The ones that breathe life into the harsh histories and vibrant communities… stories that come together to reflect the spirit of the community. Come celebrate the voices that connect us.
