Memoirist, poet and spoken-word artist Michelle Tea will visit Olympia next week with her Sister Spit literary tour - and a free workshop at Timberland Library aimed at helping writers learn more about the art of writing about themselves.

Don't let the term "literary tour" mislead you. For starters, the tour's Olympia stop is at Le Voyeur, and although many of the performers will read from their work, this cabaret-style evening of readings, performances and visual art - much of it exploring queer culture, feminism and politics - won't be anything like most English classes.
