A Literary Mixtape

Our flagship series that started back in December 2009, the literary mixtape is a submission-based show featuring writing of all kinds. Selected through an anonymous curatorial process, writers are paid and published in a book handed out to the first 100 people. Authors read one after the other, without introductions or banter, so the text of the show – printed in the books verbatim – is presented as a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Curated by Connie Zheng and Evan Karp, this will be our first in-person mixtape since March of 2020! The books for this show – sparkle + blink 117 – will feature cover art by Kristiana 莊礼恩 Chan and will also be available for free online. With readings by:
