Celebrating literary arts in Redmond since 1997
The Redmond Association of Spokenword, also known as RASP, was founded in 1997 to promote literary arts and related activities in Redmond, Washington, and eastern King County. We meet on the last Friday of each month (on earlier dates in November and December) for a featured presentation and an open-mic reading at Centro Cultural Mexicano. RASP also holds a monthly Zoom critique group, Poetry & Prose Circle, on the second Tuesday evening of each month. All events are FREE and open to the public. Please join us for our next reading!
