AWP 2015: Parties are Not for Proofreading
MAR is back from a busy and fruitful AWP in Minneapolis. We celebrated the journal’s 35th anniversary, hosted a party in an art gallery complete with a cake and a keg, gave away lots of hotdish recipe cards and MAR issues at the booth, and best of all, connected with some of our wonderful readers, contributors, and former editors. Here are a few snapshots of our time in Minneapolis:
