2012 Chapbook Festival and Mixer's Five-year Anniversary Reading

Sometimes I don’t fit the form of a poem. Sometimes I just want to stare directly without demanding metaphor or make something solid with my hands or I want to be inside a place that feels like the inside of my head. These posts see the style stories that travel our literary circles--this week’s post has shots of fashioned folks traipsing about  and enjoying the 2012 Chapbook Festival and Mixer’s Fifth Anniversary Reading before I accosted them with my camera and growl-sneered, Lemmelookatyou...And surprisingly, they let me! And you can look at them, too. Future posts will include some literary leaning craft projects and style/inspiration boards ala literary figures. Questions? Comments? Flower bombs?
