In Issue #17, Managing Editor Rivka Yeker interviews the owners of Chicago-based independent bookstore Volumes Bookcafe about community and their intentions with the store.
“Rebecca and Kimberly George are two sisters who once dreamt about opening up a bookstore. Both sisters have master’s degrees and are certified to teach, but they have focuses in different areas. Kimberly’s foundation is rooted in theatre and working with younger children while Rebecca’s is focused primarily on English and teaching high school and college students. This is why their passion for Volumes is so strong. As former teachers, they deeply understand the benefits and difficulties of the American education system, recognize the needs that the Chicago Public Schools have, and are actively working on giving young people resources and spaces that help them feel empowered and comfortable. Due to their hard-work and ambition, they were able to create something that encompassed their visions of what a bookstore should look and feel like.”

=============================================
For their collaboratively curated exhibition Discomfort, Comfort, the-coven and HAG invite artists and writers to engage notions of safe spaces, self care, and trigger warnings. How might these terms, and their presence in feminist discourse, queer theory, and identity-based communities, on occasion serve to reconsolidate the very structures of power they purport to dismantle? And how might these disjunctions be rendered generative?

y'all, we had fun at the Nunnery Gallery this month. Readings from Maria Sledmere, Ghazal Mosadeq, Sascha Aurora Akhtar, Iris Colomb, Andrew Wells, SJ Fowler, & Julia Rose Lewis. Not in that order. Ya shoulda been there, but you can check out the work of all these poets!
Umber is a collection of excavations, a harking back to past lives that now only exist as sentences. In these six poems, that give a body to the phantoms of public histories as well as those of intimate memories, Owen Vince offers us a language for “climbing out of wounds.”
