It’s true! Steve Heisler conducted a silly interview with a Quimby’s staff member written up on the Onion-related website, chicago.decider.com, in their Defend Your Taste section here. And we talked about one of our favorite best-sellers: Roy Orbison in Clingfilm, which you can purchase here!

Ice Box Press will hold a reading and book signing to celebrate the release of their inaugural chapbooks, Pieces of Shedu & other poems by Kristiana Colon and Say to These Bones, Live! by Ryan Pendell. Ice Box Press is housed at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
About the Performers:
Kristiana Colón’s Pieces of Shedu is a dark, sinuous fusion of ancient mythology and contemporary wounds. One of Chicago’s Def Poets, Colón’s work has appeared in Acentos Literary Review, Girlspeak, and Two Without Water, among other publications.
Ryan Pendell’s poetry employs lyrical and melodic abandon, combining elements of childhood daydreams and philosophical discourse. Pendell is the founder and co-editor of Lark(!) Magazine (www.larkmag.com).
