Gothic Funk Press will publish FLOOD 2024, a print anthology, on April 20, 2024. Writers featured in FLOOD 2024 include Nadia Alamah, Nic Custer, Roy Richard, and Jan Worth.
A launch party will accompany the publication, hosted by Gothic Funk Press in partnership with Flint’s dynamic Buckham Gallery and the Pierce Park Nature Preserve at 1 pm, April 20, 2302 Brookside Dr., Flint, MI 48503.
The event will include readings by contributing writers, a presentation on the restoration work at the nature preserve, live music, and light refreshments. A limited number of copies of FLOOD 2024 will be available for guests.
Both the anthology and the launch party are free. A recommended donation of $10 per copy or guest will help support Gothic Funk Press provide literary activities and community engagement in Flint.
FLOOD 2024 offers an adventure in imaginative storytelling. Participating writers responded to a common set of writing constraints: every piece of writing shares several features including an emphasis upon water, a withholding of names, and an allusion to the Djuna Barnes poem “This Much and More.”
