The 5th annual Iowa City Book Festival begins this Thursday, October 10, and runs through Sunday the 12th. On Saturday, October 12th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., we'll be joining a score of booksellers (Prairie Lights!), publishers (Strange Cage!), and presses (Ice Cube!) on the ped mall in downtown Iowa City for the festival's bookfair.
Stop by and chat with our editors and score discounted copies of our new and recent issues or our fancy letterpress broadside featuring Alison Harney's poem "Hooked." Also, free Iowa Review pens!
