Deep Vellum

Join us for this month's edition of Pegasus Reading Series. This month we feature Logen Cure, Matt Morton, Megan Peak, and Joaquin Zihuatenejo.

The Pegasus Reading Series was founded and curated by the poets Robert Torres and Sebastian Paramo in 2014. When Torres left in 2015, Courtney Marie joined Sebastian to host & curate the series. In 2016, both poets joined forces to organize and curate Deep Ellum Lit Hop. In 2018, Mag Gabbert joined to co-host. The mission of Pegasus Reading Series is to bridge together literary communities and writers in Dallas and across the nation.
