Please join us Saturday, April 29, at the Upper Crust in downtown Columbia for the Jeffrey E. Smith Editors’ Prize Reception and Reading, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The three winners of our annual contest–Joanna Luloff, of Boston, Mass. (fiction); Erica Bleeg, of Portland, Maine (essay); and Derek Mong, of Ann Arbor, Mich. (poetry)–will be honored with a reception and will receive their prize-money ($3000 each). Additionally, each writer will read from his or her work. There will be free wine and hors d’oeuvres and wonderful literary conversations!
