Reminder to Check Your Filter

Okay, it's not really your Filter, though it could be if you purchased a copy! What I'm talking about is this: Filter Literary Journal is having a release party to celebrate to celebrate Vol. III, which I described in more detail an earlier post, and you should check it out, particularly if you live in Seattle.

For a far better description, go the the Filter Blog and watch time-lapse videos of staff and volunteers assembling these beautiful books by hand.

And don't forget the party next Friday. Details as follows:

About Filter Literary Journal

Filter is a literary journal made entirely by hand. Each issue contains erasures and other literary art alongside unaltered poetry, fiction and visual art. Filter seeks to represent the work it holds on a visceral level, so that the book is as carefully crafted as the poetry, fiction and art that it contains. Copies of Filter may be purchased at: tickerfinch.etsy.com

Filter Literary Journal is grateful to 4Culture for their funding and support.
