Thank you so much to everyone who came to the reading tonight! So many buttons were made, screen printing turned out really well (Thanks Natalie & Clara), about seventy people came to the reading, we had a live performance from the artist Suicide, great performances from all our poets, and we almost sold out of books! If you couldn't make it be sure to get your copy of pufferfish magazine from our shopify (it will be available soon) at: http://neutralzone.myshopify.com/ 
Also for those who didn't get information on how to download the audio submissions, they are available on soundcloud whose link you can access here  (Suicide's song Pray will be  available soon but is not currently posted)
In addition: Keep paying attention to our feed because I'll be hitting you up with more interviews soon from those who didn't get posted before the reading!

Great reading! Thank you to Dea Chapell, Kyndall Flowers, Lily Kujawski, and the alien in the corner for reading their pieces tonight. Also thank you to Violet Seeburger, Dylan Gilbert, and Ricky McLilly for performing for us (though they are not pictured above). Finally, thank you for all the other artists who made it out tonight: Eleanor Olson, Yuchen Yang, Ezra Kushmaul, and any others who I didn't have a chance to speak with! You all made this happen!

I like going to open mic poetry sessions. It's the most convenient way to feed your right brain. Visual art is too rigid. Literature is more free flowing. It's more abundant. Visual arts have a lot of limitations. One needs enough skill to express himself here. Poetry on the other hand just needed inspiration to take birth. No one will be too quick to dismiss your work as shallow because we are the only one who really knew what it's about unless we tell them. That's the time they can decide if anything is silly but then it won't really matter. As long as you have something to read or listen to.

    About Red Beard Press 

    Red Beard Press is an independent, youth-driven publishing company dedicated to creating cutting-edge literary arts projects, publishing emerging voices, and inspiring passionate literary communities.

    Essentially... youth publishing the emerging voices of other youth & attempting to spark a love for words.

    We hope to fill a vital role in rediscovering the unity that once connected our society to literature. We have the potential to pique both current and future generations' interest in the literary arts, bringing together an increasingly diverse population with a common desire to read good books. It's urgent that RBP flourish in today's society in order to impress upon young people that literature still has the power to serve as a bridge to both inspiration and insightful dialogue.

    Red Beard Press is also necessary in order to provide a platform for youth voices in Ann Arbor and beyond. It will help amplify how we feel and how we process our world in a society where our voices are often either misinterpreted or drowned out. 

    We need books for our literary imaginations to survive and we need to create opportunities for young people to to write them. Red Beard Press aims to fill those needs by publishing books that young people will want to read and by putting those books directly in their hands.
