Let poetry transport you to a world of metaphor, alliteration and allusion with two portfolio-quality chapbooks by Wells Denison and DJ Savarese, published and donated by Unrestricted Interest.

Experience brand new stories with four new book releases from Cow Tipping Press. Hot off the presses, these are stories written by individuals with disabilities, rather than the ones we have heard about them. Cow Tipping Press creates the opportunity to relish assets rather than pity deficits of our peers with disabilities through the unique lens of creative writing.

Join the storytelling phenomenon with two tickets to a monthly Moth StorySLAM at the Amsterdam Bar & Hall and a copy of All These Wonders, The Moth’s newest collection of true stories. Best known for their nationally syndicated podcasts, The Moth is an organization that works to foster mutual understanding through live telling of stories and podcasts, built on the idea that everyone has a story. Eight of our community members shared their stories at The Moth StorySLAM earlier this year after Upstream Arts partnered with The Moth to bring a storytelling workshop to our community.
In addition to the chance to bid on this amazing collection of books and storytelling, one of the workshop participants will be sharing his story, MothSLAM-style, at the event! Be sure to RSVP for the May 17 fundraiser and celebration at the Science Museum.
