Terrific org dedicated to bring the talents of literary refugees to the North Shore and beyond. They conduct tours, have apps for tours, host events, readings and soon a restaurant/book store/bar.

amazing (and all free!) poetry and literature-focused events in the north side. the organization's mission is to "provide sanctuary to endangered literary writers, so that they can continue to write and their voices are not silenced. "

Curators of literary and musical events as well as public art. Most importantly providers of safe haven for persecuted writers from around the globe. Wonderful neighbors.

Focused on literature in translation and indie press books, this place is world class. You’ll find things here that you won’t find anywhere else
