Tonight's only reading—all the bookstores will be busy putting up garland and bows and hanging the Christmas Gristle with care— is the annual Haiku D’etat at the Richard Hugo House, with "featured poet Blair." This is a battle using haiku. Since it the name is a play on "coup d'etat," I will assume that single-named poet Blair is the President of Haiku, and it is your job to kill or overthrow him/her. Any means necessary!
