Welcome to our latest bridge—the Narrows Literary Loft!
For a while we’ve dreamed of hosting more than traditional poetry readings and building something more than an audience. The Narrows Literary Loft is our official events project to further the mission of Floating Bridge Press by working with more writers and artists.
We want joy and service to be the driving force of what we do. We aim to do that through not only our books, but through readings, workshops, and other community events.
Do you have an idea for an event or just want to know more? Contact us here!
