Six fabulous New York-based zines (and one from Pennsylvania!) provide a delicious evening of readings.

Featuring:

• We'll Never Have Paris, for all things never meant to be;
• Absent Cause, exploring the heart of dark and underground cultures;
• You Know Better, for the words you should have said (and some you shouldn't);
• Obsolete, an alphabet of poems inspired by dead words;
• I Heart NYC (well not really but I'm trying), part visitor guide and part perzine;
• Primordial Perfection, a glimpse into one of the last wild places on earth; UPDATE: PP will not be reading.
• Lower East Side Librarian Winter Solstice Shout-out, personal with a political bent (journal entries, essays, lists, and a shit ton of book reviews).
