I’ve told a handful of folks and some word has gotten around, it’s taken me a bit to finalize everything but it’s time to say that Flypaper has run its course as a lit journal.

Cleveland and Northeast Ohio poets!
Starlight Elsewhere is back in October to celebrate the release of Personal Problem by @nicetryofficer!
Remember to test before coming and mask!
ALT Flyer for starlight elsewhere featuring Brendan Joyce. October 19th, 7pm at the Rhizome House. Blue starry background, with Brendan’s book cover as a centerpiece.
If you DM me with a receipt (hopefully for a monthly sustainment pledge, but a one-time donation of any amount counts too). I (@LookingAtLilacs) will give you edits on a piece of your choosing.
(CNF and poems preferred because that’s what I know best, but fiction is ok too!)
📢 We are looking for monthly donors to cover our rent increase. Our roof needs to be replaced.
We are looking for 60 people to donate $10 a month.
Can you help? We try to keep events free & have launched a free store for the community!

So not only is it finding a way to price gauge what should be a (nearly, if not totally) free service, but it’s also not doing what I paid for in the first place when trying to extract more money for it.
See you next Thursday! Test before coming! Wear a mask!

Gig review: @wannderfullll saw @otobokebeaver and @RatasEnZelo in NYC, and she wrote about the near-religious experience getalternative.com/gig-revie…
It’s got more info, and hopefully this isn’t goodbye forever. Friends and I still have some weird projects planned that might pop up from time to time. But I need a looooooong break. Thanks for making this wild ride so much fun.
Big love,
Joy
For those in cleveland! This is tonight! Remember to test before coming and mask up the entire time! We’ll have an air filtration device in the space as well!

In tribute to @FlypaperLit as it winds down publication, I’m sharing my favorite two poems it ever ran, by the dearly-missed-on-Twitter Devin Gael Kelly. Both of them beautiful, both of them heartbreaking.

This is one of my favorite poems we’ve put out into the world. It’s a fitting end to Flypaper’s run as a lit mag. More details to come, I’ve still got a lot of folks to email and etc. but the announcement will be posted in the coming week.
