Our Winter Issue Release Party will be on Sunday, December 3rd from 5-7PM at The Little Fleet!

We’re excited to be back at what has become our usual winter release home at the lovely Little Fleet, a place that this time of year reverts into that cozy, local community-centric space that we all love.

In addition to readings and presentations by our amazing Winter Issue contributors, we can't wait to feature both musician Pete Farmer performing a live set, and Matthew Stafford of Super Nuclear putting on a liquid visual art show at the release party. It should be a good time!
