Hello Litquakers, Are you a writer looking for a stage for your latest work? A collective looking for a home for your up and coming poets? An experimental press that specializes in manifestos and cookbooks? Some sort of fourth thing? Then scroll down, and submit! The submissions to Litquake 2023 close in just one week. We can't promise you’ll have many more reminders, because we’re busy as heck! We have two more shows left in our Epicenterseries, a whole weekend of craft talks just a month away, and a monthly Poetic Tuesday at the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival. As always, you can find details at litquake.org and on social media @litquake. See you out there!
This Friday, Litquake launches MariNaomi’s new graphic memoir I Thought You Loved Me, a scrapbook-esque exploration of the expectations of friendship, the unreliability of memory, and the struggle to let go.
Join Litquake’s Epicenter as we dive into Rita Chang-Eppig’s debut novel, Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea, a riveting story about a legendary Chinese pirate, her fight to save her fleet from the forces allied against them, and the dangerous price of power!
