We are bringing up our pals from Kalamazoo to release their new artist journal they have started to publish, ASYLUM LAKE PRESS. Asylum Lake is a record of Kalamazoo Grassroots Artists based around a bi-monthly Artist Journal. And we are very excited to have them come up and release their second issue! Will have poets from Kalamazoo read also.

Along with Asylum Lake Press, we are having performances from a great Kalamazoo group and a new Grand Rapids project:

Alas, this event is a fundraiser for the project WORK+SHELTER, by the Lotus Odyssey. Description via website "It is an organization that exports fair-trade products from different eco/people-friendly groups in India. The products are sold under the name, The Lotus Odyssey in small boutiques. Now, with my team, I want to start a foundation that offers women in a New Delhi slum a new start. For many families poverty, violence, and other hardships means that lives are short and filled with suffering. That's where WORK+SHELTER comes in. Everyone deserves decent living conditions and the chance to build a better future. WORK+SHELTER will be a safe space where women can come with their children, to live and work. We'll provide training, materials, a fair-wage, and medical and education funds for them. Your donation will go towards purchasing much needed items like beds, kitchen utensils, and desert coolers for the wicked summer heat."
