To celebrate, Wright Library decided to publish an art and literary zine made up of poetry, short stories, essays, and art focusing on the Miami Valley, the Wright Brothers, and more.
We both submitted written pieces to the zine, and we were both lucky enough to be selected for publication in the zine Glide and the online zine, Glide On! We will update with the link after the online zine is released!
There is a reception and open mic tonight from 7-8:30 at Wright Library to celebrate the release of the print and online zines! If you are interested in a copy of the print edition or want to join the festivities, please stop by!

As we do every year, we absolutely loved all of the fantastic scented lotions, candles, waxes, and soaps at Tasha’s Common Scents – especially the Black Ice, Volcano, and Thunderstorm scents!
We also had an absolute blast talking to Sew Late at Night learning all of the backstories of the creatures they make.
