VOTM: What’s the most unusual experience you’ve had at a reading?
EVANS: I had to leave AWP a day early this year to celebrate my eldest’s 8th birthday, and I missed the Paper Darts reading featuring a few of my favorite writers. It was late that night, and I was home in San Diego, baking a birthday cake, when my friend Ryan sent me this text: “Lindsay Hunter is reading CANDLES from Don’t Kiss Me right now. Read along.” So I did. I sat with her book, on the kitchen floor, covered in cake flour, full of angst, and I read along with Lindsay Hunter.
