About this event
Zyzzyva Magazine celebrates its 133rd Issue Join us in celebrating the newest issue of ZYZZYVA MC’d by Zyzzyva Editor Oscar Villalon with guest appearances by Allie Coon and Cristina Fries Cristina Fríes is a Colombian American fiction writer based in San Francisco. As a Steinbeck Fellow and West Edge Opera commission recipient, she is at work on a novel and a full-length opera libretto. Her stories have appeared in PEN America Best Debut Short Stories 2018, The Michigan Quarterly Review, EPOCH Magazine, The Adroit Journal, swamp pink, Vestal Review, and elsewhere. She is the recipient of a PEN/Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers, a Fulbright Fellowship, a Tin House Scholarship, and the Adroit Journal Veasna So Scholarship. Allie Coon is a writer who lives and works in San Francisco. She was raised in the Bay Area, and her work explores gender and suburbia. ZYZZYVA was founded in 1985 in San Francisco with the goal of publishing a superb literary journal shining a spotlight on West Coast poets, writers, and artists from a wide range of backgrounds, many of whom were otherwise overlooked by established publications, and providing them with a much needed platform. Since then, the organization has evolved: the journal is now a nationally distributed, widely acclaimed publication showcasing contributors from across the country and around the world, and Zyzzyva’s impact extends far beyond the printed page. Zyzzyva hosts or participates in more than two dozen readings, panels, book festivals, and other events each year, and publish dozens of book reviews, author interviews, and original works of poetry and prose on our website annually. Zyzzyva also offers writing workshops, speak with college and graduate classes, and donate back issues to schools. Made possible by support from the City Lights Foundation.
