Sunday’s Kiss The Sky had many highlights. Manganaro’s headline set was powerful, drawing on q’s of identity, language, place, connection. They’re touring venues across the country with their debut pamphlet ‘This Is Where I’m From’. We’ve got a great eve lined up for Mar! 📸 @mrirwin.bsky.social

Happy Sunday! A new issue of FH just dropped! It's fantastic, even if I do say so myself. The gorgeous piece on the cover is by Shee, and you can read the thread to check out the featured contributors. Access the PDF, listen to recordings, and enjoy ❤️ www.fullhouseliterary.com/issue1-2025
Image of the cover of the issue with the words 'Full House Literary 2025 issue 1. Poetry, prose, hybrid, art'. The list of contributor names are then featured. There is a sticker saying now live! The cover image features deep red areas with fine crack-like patterns, framing bright blue sections. Organic, vein-like red lines flow through the blue, resembling tendrils or roots.
