| “...and I'd like a little flashlight to write poems with this lousy day not this poem I'm writing under the mostly flat blaze of bulb but a poem written with the light itself a tiny fleeting love poem to life hot hot hot a poem that would say "oh look here a bright spot of life, oh look another!”
—from “I’d Like a Little Flashlight” by Rachel Zucker
Hello Litquakers,
We aim to deal in the bright spots of life. Our role in the literary community is to be a guiding force for curious minds, whether that means gathering together authors that simply MUST meet, or organizing events that inspire someone that’s never thought the writing life possible. With this in mind, we continue to add a flurry of opportunities for awe and education to our calendar.
This Thursday, you’ll be hit with an email so packed with authors, so dynamic in subject matter, that you might even drop your morning coffee. So be prepared! Don’t say we didn’t warn you. The schedule for our new Craft & The Creative Life series drops this Thursday, featuring a June weekend of panels for aspiring writers. Whether you’re an undergraduate looking for inspiration, or a published author looking to dissect the writing process, we’ll have something for you.
There’s so much more on the horizon, but you’ll want to plan ahead. All of our Spring events are selling out fast! Scroll down for more info on what’s to come and follow us @litquake on all social media for the latest.
