What’s So Great?
“Diversity matters. Not only in what we look like, or what religion we practice, or in whom we love, but also in how we live our lives, including the order in which we go about things, the seasons in which we are able to create art.” Robin Black wonders “What’s So Great About Young Writers?” in a piece for the New York Times. Pair with our own series celebrating writers who got their start after 40.
We just found out that our actual book-making machines will be in Manhattan and operating at the Saturday, April 21, five-course, sit-down dinner cooked by Ben Walmer of the Highlands Dinner Club. It’s going to be epic and messy, hot glue and sharp knives all around. It’s a small, long table, 50 seats, so get there now http://publicationstudio.biz/events/spring_launch_2012
