Jackrabbit Journal’s ‘Unauthorized’ reading comes to Más o Menos with a do-it-yourself spirit this Thursday (11/12)
Featuring “unexpected” readings from the journal’s contributors and friends, Jackrabbit Journal Founder Natalie Raymond says the reading’s theme lends to an underlying DIY ethic with a focus on the local community.
“‘Unauthorized’ is kind of a play on ‘do-it-yourself’ and ‘do-it-yourself culture.’ Putting stuff together on your own. That’s kind of part of the mission of Jackrabbit: a space for all of the creative people of this area just doing it ourselves since there wasn’t one for everyone. I’ve told the readers if they have something that is in that vein if we can have it thematically (aligned),” said Raymond.
With recent events in the hi-desert literary scene attracting all kinds of writers from greater Southern California, Raymond says Jackrabbit’s focus is on writers from the immediate area.
“We wanted to just let it be known that there’s other literary things happening out here that are a little bit more community focused,” said Raymond.
Featured writers include Abigail Stewart, Carol King, Catherine Auman, Eleanor C. Whitney, & John Sierpinski.
Jackrabbit Journal’s “Unauthorized” reading starts at 6:00 p.m. this Thursday, November 12 at Mas o Menos, located at 66131 Twentynine Palms Highway in Joshua Tree, across from Copper Mountain College. Free and open to the public.
