Presented by Amaranth Borusk, Associate Director of the MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, University of Washington Bothell

The book has taken many shapes in the five millennia over which humans have sought to record information — varying with the needs of writers and readers and with materials available for production. Join us for a performance and lecture by a scholar and artist that will unpack the ways books have always been dynamic, interactive experiences, whether their interface looks like a tablet or a touchscreen. Come see the body of the book again to understand what is has been and what it might become.

The University of Washington Bothell and McMenamins co-sponsor this speaker series in which university faculty and other notables from the community share their expertise through entertaining and informal talks. Learn about interesting topics and issues of the day while enjoying the hospitality of Anderson School’s Haynes’ Hall. It's like being back in the classroom -- except this time you get to settle into comfortable seats and enjoy a drink or two with dinner while you listen and learn.
