Brazos Bookstore presents a chapbook reading by three Houston poets:   Rebecca Spears, R.T. Castleberry & Stella Brice, Thursday, February 25 at 7pm.

Rebecca Spears, a poet and instructor, has an MFA from Bennington College. Her writing appears in If These Walls Could Speak: The Blanton Museum Poetry Project (University of Texas), The Weight of Addition (Mutabilis Press), Texas in Poetry 2 (TCU Press), Calyx, Minnesota Review, Natural Bridge, Nimrod, Texas Review, and other journals and anthologies. Spears has received scholarships from the Taos Writers Workshop (University of New Mexico) and Vermont Studio Center; she was a finalist for the 2008 Iowa Review Poetry Award. Her chapbook  is The Bright Obvious, called "elemental, conversational, spiritual" by poet Laurie Kutchins.

R.T. Castleberry (pictured, photo by Charles Tatum II) is a widely published poet and social critic. An active participant in Houston poetry since the mid-70s, he was a co-founder of the Flying Dutchman Writers Troupe and co-editor/publisher of the monthly magazine Curbside Review. His work has appeared most recently in Comstock Review, The Alembic, Paterson Literary Review, Caveat Lector, Perigree, Silk Road and Argestes. He was a finalist for the 2008 Arts & Letters/Rumi Prize for Poetry. His chapbook, Arriving at the Riverside, is coming from Finishing Line Press on January 15, 2010.

Stella Brice is the author of two chapbooks, the most recent of which is a collection of dark fairytale poems called Outgrow. She is a Pushcart nominee, the winner of the John Z. Bennett Prize, and her work has been featured in numerous journals and anthologies.
