Seeing this hefty stack from our staff member Alexa, we have to ask: Is it really a TBR pile if you don’t have at least five books?

This Thursday we’re throwing it back to Issue 94 with Clara Changxin Fang’s poem, “The Other Side of Night” Not only has this been published, it’s also been discussed on the podcast, PBQ’s Slush Pile, all the way back in 2017!

Join us virtually this Thursday for another open editorial meeting with our friends at @WritersRoomDU ! Register at writersroomdrexel.org to receive the zoom link.

Kitty Carpenter, author of "She Kindly Stopped" in our upcoming "Touch" issue just had a piece accepted to Rat’s Ass Review; her poem “Farm Sonnet” was a finalist in the 2020 @RattleMag Poetry Prize.

So excited to join with Writers Room tonight as we celebrate the democracy of PBQ.

Exciting news! We're hosting another open editorial meeting this Thursday, 11/19 at 6pm in collaboration with @WritersRoomDU . Come see how our editorial process works and meet our staff. Stay tuned for Zoom info.

Maybe our Philly staff member, Addison, was on to something when he started "Bad Days in History: A Gleefully Grim Chronicle of Misfortune, Mayhem, and Misery for Every Day of the Year" by Michael Farquhar back in January. Here are just a few other books he's been reading.

"I get married there, amongst the prime rib and dahlias. But even as I don the white dress and honeysuckle down the aisle, you are inside of me, singing of ancestors." Read "Wedding Day" by Gillian Vik in Issue 100 ow.ly/rmXf50Ch57b

As we mourn the loss of Walter Wallace Jr, a 27-year-old Black man who was senselessly murdered by the police this Monday, we send our support to protestors fighting for justice in our community and across the country. Visit ow.ly/JCpp50C7yjP

Our editorial team's been consuming all kinds of media from home while social distancing. Check out Co-editor Marion Wrenn's bookshelf featuring Weezer's “Everything Will Be Alright in the End.” What have you been listening to these last few months?
