Journey to the Epicenter at ZYZZYVA

On March 3rd join Litquake and the West Coast literary journal ZYZZYVA for our first Epicenter of 2011. For the first time since its 1985 debut, ZYZZYVA has a new editor. Laura Cogan (pictured), along with new managing editor Oscar Villalon, fills the shoes of founding editor Howard Junker, all in a brand-new downtown office.
Stop by and meet the ZYZZYVA masthead, mingle with lit lovers, writers, and readers, and preview the journal’s Spring issue (featuring contributors Stephen Elliott, Tom Barbash, Matthew Dickman, and Robin Ekiss—and sporting a cover by renowned artist Richard Misrach).
Wine and savory treats help celebrate a new beginning for a Bay Area institution. 5-7 pm, 466 Geary Blvd., 4th floor, RSVP to editor@zyzzyva.org.
The Epicenter series pairs the folks behind San Francisco’s Literary Festival with literary journals, reading series, publishers, schools, and more at free monthly gatherings for the literary-minded. If your group would like to co-host a future Epicenter with Litquake, please email Elise Proulx at ep@litquake.org.
