Poet Howell to read about love at Auntie’s

You may not be familiar with the name Christopher Howell . But then you may not have studied writing at Eastern Washington University, where Howell is a professor.

Or you may not have paid any attention to the awards listing that come from such places as the National Endowment Fellowships, Pushcart Prizes or Washington State Book Awards , all of which Howell has won.

But you have an opportunity to educate yourself by attending a poetry reading that Howell will put on at 7 tonight at Auntie’s Bookstore . Howell will read from his latest poetry collection, “Love’s Last Number: Poems” (Milkweed Editions, $16).

To get a feel for Howell’s work, here is a link .

It’s always a good idea to arrive early for Auntie’s events. And bring some money. Our resident independent bookstore can always use your support.
