SUMMARY:Tire Fire presents: Wilkinson\, Flick\, doaks\, & Edwards
DESCRIPTION:February is a drag\, so we’re giving you something to look forward to: readings from Lauren Wilkinson\, Sherrie Flick\, celeste doaks\, & Tafisha A. Edwards. \nDoors 7 // Reading 8 \nThis month\, we’ll be supporting one of our favorite causes\, the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund\, who posts bail for residents of Philadelphia who cannot afford to pay bail and works to bring to light to the inequities of the use of cash bail in Philadelphia and to advocate for the abolition of bail and pretrial detention in our city. \nAccessibility Note: Reading is upstairs and non-bumper car seating is limited\, and tends to be first-come\, first-serve. If you need assistance or accommodations\, please let us know. \nEnjoy this event with our Pierogi Thursday specials:\n50¢ pierogi from noon-10pm\n& half off all drafts 5-7pm and 10-11pm \nJoin the Facebook Event and invite all your pals! \n \n*** \nLAUREN WILKINSON earned an MFA in fiction and literary translation from Columbia University\, and has taught writing at Columbia and the Fashion Institute of Technology.
