Hey, hey! This, from the Punch Bucket Literary Festival 2025, in Asheville.
If you’re a writer or writer-adjacent, this fest is very worth your time. I’m already really excited. It’s a huge privilege to be able to participate as a reader this year. And, it’s a freaking testament to the power of art that this festival is even happening, and happening with a bang, after Hurricane Helene wrought so much devastation a few days after last year’s Punch Bucket fest. Anyway, I’m very pumped!
