May Corridor

This year the zine introduces some new voices. Keep your eyes out for them. Word is getting out, and more poets and artists are finding Corridor. Thank you all for submitting your work and sharing it with the community.
You can find the zine in the Little Free Libraries, cafes, bookstores, and local businesses in Bellingham, Portland, and Vancouver. Have a poem to share? Have a question? Email Corridor at shannon.chickadee@gmail.com
