The October Corridor #20 edition is out. Copies will be printed and distributed throughout Whatcom County and beyond over the next two weeks. Such a joy to read and see so many splendid submissions and art. Keep your eyes open for them. Cafe Blue and The Firehouse Cafe are two new independent stores where you can find copies. Both of these cafes are in the Fairhaven neighborhood in south Bellingham. As always, 5-10 copies are placed on the shelves in Fairhaven Village Books in the breezeway between the bookstore and the Colophon Cafe. Sometimes they go FAST, so get a copy when you can.
Want to print copies and share FREE thought-provoking, storytelling, blow-your-mind-while-you-chill-with-a-morning-cup-of-coffee poetry in your town? Go for it! If you have the “booklet” feature in your Adobe PDF and a good stapler you’re in business. The PDF is also good to take to a printer in town. Albert Einstein once said, “Creativity is contagious, pass it on.” Message me for details, shannon dot chickadee at gmail dot com.
