Hinton Publishing

On May 21, Lucy’s Bottle Shop and Hinton Publishing’s literary journal Speak the Sojourner are teaming up for a live reading event offering something increasingly endangered: a room full of people, a glass of wine, and the electric feeling of being jolted awake by language again.

Come trade doomscrolling, dissociation, and the soft hum of existential dread for an evening of razor-sharp writing, vulnerable storytelling, and the kind of conversation that reminds you it’s still possible to feel deeply, laugh loudly, and walk out a little less alone than when you came in.

Featured readers:

Angela Garbes
Joyce Chen
Maggie Mertens
Danielle Marie Holland
Marcus Harrison Green
Kristen Millares Young
Juan Carlos Reyes

Doors open at 5pm. Readings begin at 7pm.

The latest issue of Speak the Sojourner is here!

Writing lives at the edge of the unseen. It's part language and part invocation. In the space between what can be said and what is lived, something flickers. This issue steps into that veil.

Featuring work that explores love, distance, lineage, God, and becoming:

The Moon in Leo — Trudy Shelf
Artemis — Rhyan Mack
Light Codes Oracle — Abi Louise
the world (not) reversed — Josephine Whittock
trouble — Jin Zeng
Dancing With You — Alia Zeng
In the Eyes of Eternity — Dia

This collection doesn’t just showcase writing but reveals what writing can do: conjure, question, transform.

Step into the veil.
