On today’s In Depth, we’re previewing the annual Portland Writers Picnic, which takes place Sunday, September 13th. The picnic has become a wonderful tradition for everyone in the Portland literary community. Writing can be a lonely pursuit at times, and the picnic is a way of getting folks together, comparing notes on the craft, meeting old friends and making new ones. KBOO has been previewing the picnic now for several years, and that’s become a very welcome tradition for us as well.
