On July 15, Split This Rock and Busboys and Poets celebrated VCCA with a reading from Entering the Real World: VCCA Poets on Mt. San Angelo — an anthology of poems that were written about or inspired by VCCA residencies. The house was packed with folks who came to hear nine VCCA Fellows read from the popular anthology.
