Under the Round Table Writers are a group of writers who have benefitted in a number of ways from their association with the Sitting Room Library (SRL) and their decades long effort seeking to restore the history of women’s achievements. The many volunteers at SRL, including students and interns from neighboring SSU, are devoted to the collection and curation of interdisciplinary, international, and cross-genre literature, poetry, and art by and about women.

The Under the Round Table Writers, many of whom depend on the quiet solitude, caffeine and carbs the library mavens provide to fuel our creativity, are especially honored to represent the Sitting Room at this year’s Lit Crawl. We propose to offer an eclectic, audience-centered program of poetry and prose intended to both entertain and perhaps ease listeners’ discomforting angst concerning the socio-cultural, political chaos of our current lives – at least for the few hours folks will be romping about in the “literary mayhem” of Lit Crawl Sebastopol 2025.
