Corridor Gives Voice to NW Poets

The November edition of Corridor zine is out this week. Look for it at coffee shops, bookstores, and local businesses.

When I placed some at Village Books on Friday, I noticed all of the extra copies dropped off two weeks ago was gone. I hope those zines are out in the world being read, shared, and doing what found art does, touch hearts and minds.
