The University of Chicago's Logan Center - Fall 2019
Hi, I'm Allyson. Writing has been a lifelong passion of mine. For nearly 10 years I've published digital chapbooks and printed zines under the name Save the Bees Worx, with part of my proceeds donated to urban beekeepers in Chicago.
In Spring of 2020, I decided to start drafting an Anthology, containing some pieces published in out of print zines, redux versions of poems printed between 2009 - 2019, as well as Polaroids, comics and excerpts from my 22 year collection of sketchbooks, journals and notebooks. For the next year I will collage my past together, giving context to the new work in progress.
