Git Lit! Thursday: Poetry, whiskey and pie

Note: The following post has been edited.

The 2016 edition of Get Lit! continues Thursday night with a pair of events.

The first, at 7 p.m. at the Lincoln Center's Monroe Ballroom, will feature a conversation/reading by Paul Harding and Nance Van Winckel. Harding is a novelist ("Tinkers," winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for fiction), and Van Winkle is a poet and author ("Ever Yrs"). Entry is $15 general admission, free to students.

The second is a Pie & Whiskey Reading, which will be held at 9:30 at the Spokane Woman's Club. The event will be hosted by Sam Ligon and Chris Bovey and will feature a number of other regional writers, including Jess Walter and Kris Dinnison. Entry is $5 at the door (for ages 21 and over only).

And, yes, you had me at "pie."

As for tonight, you can catch a couple of competing events: "Raising Lilly Ledbetter: Women Poets Occupy the Workspace," a reading by authors such as Kate Lebo and Brooke Matson at 7 p.m. at the Spark Center, 1214 W. Summit Parkway; and a reading by Corinna Nicolaou, author of "A None's Story: Searching for Meaning Inside Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam," at 7 p.m. at Auntie's Bookstore.
