Screaming salutations from that one cicada outside your window- As most of you have heard by now, we here at Chicory are currently gathering our energy up to myceliate into the other side of 25 Broadway! Y'all's response to our forthcoming events space has been incredibly heartening -- good fuel for the work ahead. While this move represents a major expansion of our capacities along with our overhead, our hope is that for you, beloved community, it will feel like a very ~organic~ outgrowth of the work we've been doing for years now. If you'd like to lend your input on decisions...

(Unless it's to cool down, that is...) I'll also be adding a couple book promotion events as...

A chorus of twittering, buzzing, humming hellos- June is upon us. Somehow we've made it halfway though this impossible year, and the soft green world is here to hold us (and help us hold it) for a spell. We have so many opportunities to be in community this month -- books and poetry and nature walks abound! -- that this email is already quite long without a preamble. But more as invocation than preface, I just want to wish each and every one of you one sweet, sun-dappled hour off your phone. Whether its a lunch hour in a parklet...
