Today, they will read work from their own books, moleskines, and pockets. Between the pages of their work, they will talk about their experiences as writers and editors, living the writing life in Amsterdam, and how their work is influenced by the work they read and consider each year for the pages of Versal. With Megan M. Garr (Editor), Cralan Kelder (Managing Editor), Robert Glick (Fiction Editor), Anna Arov (Assistant Editor), Kate Foley (Assistant Editor), and Kai Lashley (Assistant Editor).
