Thirst: The Dog Days of August

Late summer lethargy didn’t stop us from convening to share tales at Black Spring Books.

The city's thick heat. Afternoons flattened across the heavy air. In the final heave before this season turns, tell us your stories of lethargic late summer nights, of teenage adventures, or canine companions...All are welcome.
