&lt;i&gt;Smallpressapalooza is a long marathon reading that I&amp;#x27;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&amp;#x27;re doing it in April. Sunday, April 16th to be exact. From 4:00-8:00pm.&lt;br /&gt;– Kevin Sampsell&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
