Corridor Zine’s Festive Cover and Collective Creativity

The second reason I’m excited, more people keep finding the zine and sending us photos and comments. It’s pretty neat. I’m thankful for all the love and attention. More importantly, I’m thankful that it seems the zine is meeting its goal. The goal of Corridor is to connect with complete strangers. Constructive work touches an unsuspecting mind. There are many beautiful micro events in the world, and this is one of them.

Corridor Celebrates!

We did it! Over 27 poets, 5 artists, +400 copies of the 10-paged zines printed and distributed over 13 months from Poetry Month 2022 to Poetry Month 2023! This month marks the final zine in this fun project. Over the next few weeks, I will share four of my favorite poems submitted to Corridor and submitted artwork as a remembrance of the year’s moments.

It’s Time for Ham!

Since 2010 I have posted this story around the holidays.  It has become a Madrona Grove tradition.  The ham story is a about generations and tradition.   My mother’s mid-western family has many traditions.  One that is especially unique is making fresh Oyster Stew on New Years.  My mother’s Minnesotan family originates from the Rhine RiverContinueContinue reading “It’s Time for Ham!”
