Poetose

"Alteration" by Gail Schulte: https://www.poetose.com/pub/alteration-gail-schulte #/

Gail Schulte bloomed creatively in Detroit and Washington, D.C. Volunteer and professional projects have taken her from the seaside village of Bagamoyo, Tanzania, to historic Shrewsbury in the UK. Her poems have appeared in La Piccioletta Barca; Kingfisher; Sinister Wisdom; Lavender Review; and Made from Midnight: A Poets in the Pines Anthology, among other publications.

Some photos from yesterday's Indie Lit Fair co-presented by the Community of Literary Magazines & Presses (CLMP) & the PEN World Voices Festival! 🥰😍🤩

We met so many folks doing incredible work including The Feminist Press (whom we had the honor of sharing a table with!), Radix Printing & Publishing Cooperative, CavanKerry Press, The Bilingual Press, Tough Poets Press, McPherson and Company, Black Lawrence Press, and Archipelago Books.

The cloudy day took a turn toward some sunshine. Several blocks beside Washington Square Park were closed off so attendees could meander through without worrying about traffic. Children and adults enjoyed munching on guava candy and lollipops and partook in the giveaway of lots of free zines. Sara Zieve Miller's adorable frog stickers and Meia Geddes' book earrings drew lots of oo's and ah's. People chatted without too much prompting and we appreciated how endearing and supportive folks were.

We had our beautiful new releases by Soon Jones, Canadian writer Miguel Eichelberger, and Sherre Vernon.

Thank you so much to PEN America & CLMP for having us! This was our first time representing Poetose publicly, and it was such an exciting opportunity we couldn't pass up. The joy of meeting people in person cannot be overstated and we're inspired to attend more events in the future when possible. 🌞💜
