LitFuse 2008

The second annual version of TAH’s premier literary event – LitFuse – is scheduled for Friday, October 31 (yes! Halloween!) to Sunday, November 2, 2008. This year LitFuse is honored to welcome Lorna Dee Cervantes as our featured artist. Author of Drive: the First Quartet (2006); From the Cables of Genocide: Poems of Love and Hunger (1991); and the American Book Award winning Emplumada (1981), Ms. Cervantes is not only a major Chicana voice, but a voice for all humanity.

Please mark your calendars for this spirit-expanding weekend. Here are a few sample comments from last year’s evaluation forms:

LitFuse is a wonderful idea and I hope will become a regular event. Very well organized. Very caring staff. Felt very welcome and looked after.
Appreciate greatly everyone’s hospitality. Tieton is an ideal setting and the whole community was supportive and comfortable without feeling phony.
Warm—welcoming—excellent! Would do it again!
This was a wonderful and inspirational weekend. The Faculty was amazing and I particularly loved everything.
Outstanding inaugural effort. Outstanding faculty; great participants. Everyone can be pleased.
