Register to Attend: Quimby’s After Hours: Sobotka Literary Magazine

Sobotka Lierary Magazine is the screaming brainchild of two humans from Illinois, USA. Sobotka roughly translates from Polish as “bonfire.” Bonfire literally means “bone fire” or “a fire of bones” in the English language, but has become synonymous with people conversing and connecting in a warm light of their own creation, safe from the darkness that surrounds them. Sobotka believes that writing, and the community found through sharing, can serve as a bonfire.

Expect a raucous reading celebrating contributors to recent issues of Sobotka Literary Magazine!

Sobotka Readers: Nish Ahmed, Rivka Yeker, Jacob Stovall, and Lemmy Ya’akova
