Smallpressapalooza
April 16th, 2023
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.
