Alpha Beta Blah - Cozy Solstice

The 2025 AAWW Margins fellows present “Alpha Beta Blah”, a new reading series that invites writers to come frat out with the fellows.

The fourth and final reading of this series will take place on December 16th at 7 pm ET. For “Cozy Solstice”, send us pieces about all that can happen on the longest night of the year. We want poetry that covers heartbreak and hollowness, sultry stories about people locked in a cabin together, and essays on the possibilities of a snowy day in the city. We are looking for work with a heart big enough to get us through the coldest of nights, that makes us feel like we are bundled up next to a hearth.

Submit your sample to events@aaww.org by December 1st to be considered for the lineup.

This reading series is a part of the AAWW Margins fellowship program.
