NER recently held its first West Coast reading at Stories Books in Los Angeles, and we’re still basking in the afterglow. To extend the joy even further we’re sharing this series of photographs of the authors and SRO crowd, care of photographer Thomas Moore.

The reading featured writers published in current and past issues of the New England Review: Sands Hall and Lou Mathews from the current issue, 35.2; Steve De Jarnatt from 34.1; and Charles Hood, with a recent piece in NER Digital.

The reading attracted a large and enthusiastic audience, which spilled out into the courtyard beyond. Thanks to Lou Mathews for putting all the pieces together, and to the authors, the audience, Tom Moore, and Stories Books. For more photos from the event, click here.
