Great Weather For Media is excited to have two major New York area talents cross over the river with us to Brooklyn for our debut event at Pacific Standard. From Upstate New York, former Brooklynite Donald Lev returns to his old stompin' grounds and NYC's own Amy Leigh Cutler will strut her poetic brilliance as she has been from NYC to London.
ABOUT
Great Weather for Media is a new independent press based in New York City focusing on edgy and experimental poetry and prose.
DESCRIPTION
"Out of the mainstream and away from the tributaries!"
Innovative, quality writing from fearless writers everywhere in the world. Our first anthology, "It's Animal but Merciful", was published October 2012.
”An ambitious work, and a risky one, It’s Animal but Merciful finds common ground for a diverse group of poets in excellent craft and fearless voices…Read this book. Stick with it to the end. You will not be disappointed. You will be dazzled.” The Pedestal Magazine
