Smallpressapalooza is a long marathon reading that I've traditionally done in March (Small Press Month!). I started it in 2008 and hosted one each year until 2018. I skipped 2019 because the AWP festival was in Portland that year and then in 2020, COVID it down! So this year will be the return. The one twist is we're doing it in April. Sunday, April 16th to be exact. From 4:00-8:00pm.

Katie Gene Friedman, the newest author published by Portland press, Future Tense Books, will be visiting from Philadelphia to read from her chapbook, Foreign Body.*
She'll be joined by Dena Rash Guzman, author of the new project, Scraps for Doomsday, and Ashley Yang-Thompson, publisher of Wormslut zines and author of the graphic novella, How to be the worst laziest fattest most incontinent piece-of-shit in the world EVER.
*In her essay Foreign Body, Katie Gene Friedman takes the reader on an odyssey of gynecological misadventures, exploring what a sexual and reproductive future looks like for her retrofitted body, as she navigates the absurdities of gender roles, religion, and the healthcare system.
Katie Gene Friedman is a queer, invisibly disabled high school dropout working in sexual and reproductive health. Her words have appeared in Peach Mag, Maudlin House, Portland Review, Expat Press, Queen Mob’s Tea House, and elsewhere.
