While many literary magazines have themes, Capitol Hill’s HOARSE takes theirs to another level. “Field Day” was held in Miller park with play parachutes, otter pops, red rover, Capri Sun, and sack races. For “Pool Party” there were inflatable pools, sand, sunglasses and beach wear and the release of issue six “Undercover” promises to be the best yet.
In collaboration with APRIL — aprilfestival.wordpress.com — HOARSE presents its sixth release party Friday, March 23rd at 7:30p in The Electric Tea Garden (Located in the Artificial Limb Co. building). There will be poetry and prose from the issue, secrets, mystery, intrigue, Carmen Sandiego, Waldo and cover songs performed by local bands LAKE, Blue Light Curtain and Tenderfoot:
