We’re celebrating Windward Review volumes 19 & 20—“Empathy & Entropy” (2021), “Beginnings & Endings” (2022). This is a jam-packed reading event with writers/ artists from both volumes. An open mic will follow, so bring your own creative writing or genre-fluid work to share. Also, participate in our bring-one-take-one book exchange—bring an old book of any genre and trade it with another! Windward Review is a TAMU-CC student-edited journal that publishes marginalized voices including local and non-local Latinx writers/artists, youth writers, ALANA, MOGII, and genre-fluid creators. Location: UC Bayview 320.
We are specifically looking for contributors from either volume to read.
