Editor’s note: Things look a little different today! We’re rolling out new branding that will also appear on our website next week. Hope you like it!
This weekend is one of my favorites of the year, because it’s time for the Tucson Festival of Books.
After wanting to go for years, I finally made it down there for last year’s event, and I had an absolute blast.
This year I can’t wait to spend some time with bookish friends, eat some good Tucson food, take in as many poetry panels as I can, and hopefully come home with lots of creative inspiration.
If you’re going, too, be aware: There’s a new clear bag policy in place.
