On October 21, 2015, WordsWest Literary Series hosted a unique, literary presentation. Radio journalist Ruby de Luna of Seattle NPR affiliate KUOW and award-winning playwright Stephanie Timm shared work and explored the craft of writing pieces that are meant to be spoken. Ruby illustrated the diverse voices and aural textures involved in telling stories about Africans and African Americans with cancer, reasons why men don't see doctors, and how her father's newfound interest in cooking drove her mother away. Stephanie illustrated the immense power of dialogue by presenting Secondhand Dress, a 10-minute play about an encounter at a bus stop between a woman wearing a dress purchased from a thrift store and the man whose deceased girlfriend once owned it. She then invited audience members to create their own two-person dialogues in a captivating writing exercise. Carolyn Elliott of Elliott Salon shared her favorite poem: "The Fake Friends" by Dorothy Parker.
