ATL Bookmarks: 6 Events to hit this week February 11 2013

Ivy Hall opens their Potlatch to the public, Write Club and True Story return with their latest chapters, and more!

Over the past few years, Ivy Hall and SCAD’s writing program have brought some real heavyweights to the city (Chuck Klosterman, Andre Dubus III, and Sandra Beasley, to name a few). With their new Potlatch series, Ivy Hall and SCAD draw their focus inside the perimeter and bring Atlanta’s literary talent center stage. The first of these readings will take place this Friday evening, with readings from Amy McDaniel (HTMLGiant, the Solar Anus Reading Series) and Bruce Covey (What’s New In Poetry, Coconut Books).
