Collection of literary submissions in a variety of formats

H. Melt curates this collection of essays (mostly originally online), documenting a critical queer, nonfiction literary voice that is strongly rooted in Chicago. Themes include the need to talk more openly about race, class, and privilege, the power of community support, and the experience of living in Chicago. Builds on the work of Chicago-based queer publications like Chicago IRL, In Our Words, and others. (Adapted from Melt's introduction to the collection.)

A zine of poetry created by a collective that visited the Read/Write Library in 2013. It focuses on motivational and self help poetry, containing at least one poem for each letter of the alphabet.
