Up at makemag.com, reviews editor @mgmolloy has been leading a team of fantastic book reviewers for *years.* We think these thoughtful takes on books of all kinds deserve their fair share of Instagram time, too. So, we’ll be sharing new reviews here by posting photos submitted by the reviewers. First up, writer and audio producer Cassius Adair (pictured) has contributed a stunning review of Andrea Lawlor’s *Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl* from @rescuepress . . . #linkinbio #andrealawlor #cassiusadair #bookpics #bookreviews #makelit #smallpress #pink https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0hG2pBYTk/?igshid=w9n55ztq2z1q

A short throwback to @contratiempochicago’s closing night for their poetry festival Poesía en Abril. This awesome event featured Spanish-language poets (and a Czech poet!) from throughout Latin America, Europe, and Chicago. This event, last Saturday at Decima Musa in Pilsen, featured short readings from all the participants, along with music and more. If you missed it, there’s next year and there’s also the current issue on Contratiempo magazine, which includes poems from the participating poets. Find it for free across Chicago and soon, online. #poesiaenabril #contratiempo #poesiaenespanol #chicagoevents #pilsenevents (at Decima Musa Private Events Venue) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw9xPxzHneb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=102fdkiecyfhj
