Neighborhood Salon + Holiday Launch Party
We are taking over Exit Galleries in Allston for a night of live readings, writing & discussion, good music, and local food & drinks to celebrate the launch of our sixth issue, "Desire Lines."
6pm - 7:30pm: Every time we launch an issue, we host a Neighborhood Salon, bringing in writers from the latest issue to read excerpts of their work and facilitate the group in light reflection and discussion.
7:30pm - 9:00pm: Stick around to hang after the Salon or just come to the party in this incredible gallery space that describes itself as "a rehearsal space for re-membering what it means to be human together."
Writing & Spice-Blending Workshop
Join us for an evening where words and flavor intertwine! We’ll begin with a writing session inspired by scent and memory, drawing from a curated collection of spices to spark imagination. Then, you’ll roll up your sleeves for a hands-on blending experience, crafting your own custom spice blend that reflects your story and palate.
Each participant will leave with:
A copy of the Fall edition of Quinobequin Review, a hyper-local, print-only journal of poetry and prose inspired by place and experience.
A jar of your own signature spice blend, created during the workshop.
New tools for weaving sensory awareness into your writing and everyday life.
This workshop is perfect for writers, cooks, and anyone curious about how creativity blossoms at the intersection of art and flavor. Come ready to write, taste, and share in a space that celebrates curiosity and community.
Light snacks and drinks will be served.
