We are pleased to announce that this fall (2019) we published our first ever chapbook, Human/Nature, released to coincide with our art show of the same name. We are excited to be working with Irvington Vinyl and Books on this project.

All profits from sales go directly to supporting your Sierra Club chapter here in Indiana.
In addition to the poems featured in our chapbook, we are pleased to present these pieces from Indiana writers Julie Stewart, Greg Schwipps, and Kirby Lee Hammel, on the Human/Nature theme.
The cover features Garfield Park at Dusk, by Indianapolis artist Allen Bannister.
