“I most enjoy hearing from authors that I "should" know—but don't. Literary Arts speakers are all amazing—each brings a unique story and tale about themselves and their work. I am also a huge fan of seeing those authors that I do know and am star-struck by... Both ends of the spectrum make my subscription worth it 100%.” — Portland Arts & Lectures subscriber
