Lit Crawl® Portland

Get Nervous is a reading and performance series about anxiety and depression, centered on the nagging, swirling, frazzled feeling you get when you have to do a thing. Get Nervous features pieces about anything from anxiety-induced eczema (in a funny way!) to the terrible things we tell ourselves in the throes of depression, all in an attempt to create a safe space for public vulnerability. The hope is to be a catalyst to create art about these subjects for the purpose of confronting them, sharing them, and normalizing them. This special Lit Crawl edition will feature a lineup of all queer writers.
