This issue focuses on the autumn season and the fall months in the Midwest. Poetry and art submissions can be open-ended, personal, abstract, or really however the artist/poets wishes to represent the autumn season. The goal is to highlight autumn in Indy. We will publish and print the issue. There will be a release party in October for the issue. Issues will be sold at the release party in the fall, local poetry readings, and Irvington Vinyl and Books.
