Subtext On Hiatus

After 15 years of hosting monthly readings we are taking a break.

We're grateful to all those who attended and helped create community.

The Subtext Collective would like to thank all our local and out-of-state readers for sharing their work.

Some local readers on youtube.
Two articles about the reading series by Travis Nichols.
And an older one by Stacey Levine.
Audio documents will become available in the future.

Special thanks to our hosts over these 15 years:
