It will go down in PDX literary history as the sweetest duel of all time.
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 1:20PM A wild and rowdy night, filled with audience howls, joyful drunkenness, and some of the best judging in LDM history, all added up to Future Tense rep Riley Michael Parker out-fruit-smoothie making Tin House rep Arthur Bradford in a narrow 2-1 finish (as chosen by a panel of three taste-expert volunteers) to take home the Literary Death Match championship, making PDX very, very proud.
