Last night, awesome Chicago-based feminist poetry publisher Switchback Books held a party to inaugurate their shiny new space in the Fulton Street Collective. Thanks to Whitney Holmes, there was a tower of red velvet cupcakes…
…and thanks to Dolly Lemke and Sarah Carson, many copies of poetry books (including Oneiromance, second from the right) were sold: 
Switchback’s fearless leader Brandi Homan shared with the audience what it was like to grow up in Bobcat Country…
…Lina Ramona Vitkauskas (being photographed by Larry Sawyer) regaled the crowd with poems about sweater girls….
…Carlo Matos did his best Fernando Pessoa…
…and Simone Muench performed some poemes noir:
Congratulations, Switchback, on your new home and your fourth birthday! Here’s to many years to come.
