Play of the year

Veronica Liu of Fractious Press (and Seven Stories Press) sent an email about Word Up, the pop-up bookstore in Washington Heights.

Over the past two weeks we've hosted readings by zinesters, novelists, comic book artists, performance artists, poets—both famous and first-time, English and Spanish, teen and adult; live music—free improv, hip-hop, Latin jazz, poetry/performance; informative publishing Q&As; children's story hours; knitting and crafting circles; women's self-defense clinics; lit journal showcases; and even a solo play about community organic farming performed from the point of view of the soil!
