Anthony Hudson, the human avatar for Portland's own Carla Rossi, will share a selection of material written for the Clown Queen herself before diving into the first-ever public reading from his forthcoming book Looking for Tiger Lily, a new memoir adapted from Anthony's internationally-touring solo stage show. 

Still in process, Looking for Tiger Lily is supported by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde's Indigenous Placekeeping Artist Fellowship, an Oregon Community Foundation Creative Heights award, and PCC's Carolyn Moore House Writing Residency.
