LIT Magazine at The New York City Poetry Festival
We are overjoyed to join with The New York City Poetry Society this weekend for the 13th annual Poetry Festival on Governors Island!
LIT Magazine will be featured on the Beckett Stage stage starting at 1pm Sunday, July 14th with TNS Writing Program compatriots 12th Street Journal, and The Inquisitive Eater.
We will also have our own table with the vendors for the whole weekend so please come find us to say hi on Saturday and Sunday and pick up some back issues of LIT, and some fun prompts and activities for folks to create and share their own poetry with us. On Sunday we will be at The Beckett Stage at 1pm. Our featured readers will be David Felsenthal, whose work can be read in our current issue LIT 37, and and Helen Laser (LIT 35), and we will be sharing the work of Georgia San Li (LIT 36) whose chapbook Wandering, has just been published with Finishing Line press.
