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:
First stop in Minneapolis: the giant spoon and cherry! (Okay, not really.)
Editors extraordinaire (Managing Editor Sasha Khalifeh and Editor-in-Chief Abigail Cloud) at the booth!
Assistant Fiction Editor Lydia Munnell and Assistant Poetry Editor Jenelle Clausen at the MAR booth.
It’s party time! MAR celebrated its 35th anniversary by throwing a cake- and beer-filled party at Gallery 13.
Cake! (We’re willing to overlook the missing “n” in our name. Parties are not for proofreading.)
More MAR party goodness.
MAR editors live it up!
Here’s just one shot of a MAR contributor (Cynthia Marie Hoffman) reading at the party.
From all of us at MAR, thanks for a fantastic AWP!
