Bear Review 4.2

https://bearreview.submittable.com/submit

https://www.facebook.com/barebearreview/

https://issuu.com/bearreview/docs/4.2

Please join us for another enchanted backyard reading! We're celebrating the recent launch of Bear Review 4.2, four good years of the journal, and the addition of a new co-editor, Haines Eason, to our masthead. We would like nothing more than for you to join us.

Come hear Alyse Bensel, Megan Kaminski, Jenny Molberg, and Hadara Bar-Nadav read their verse aloud in dusky light, with totem poles and fireflies. Bring a picnic, your favorite drink, a blanket or lawn chair, and plan to hang out for a bit afterward.

2018 MMLA Conference in Kansas City

The Conference website has a list of things to do in KC, but I feel there are a few overlooked things.

Some of the best KC Jazz (if you can't make it to 18th and Vine) is at the Green Lady Lounge (take the streetcar to 19th and walk east)
1809 Grand Blvd
https://greenladylounge.com/

[

For a film and dinner, there is Alamo Drafthouse (close)
https://drafthouse.com/kansas-city

or Screenland Crossroads (take the Streetcar to 16th and walk a few blocks east)
http://www.screenland.com/crossroads

[

For groceries, salad bar, deli, beer and wine, postcards and souvenirs, etc. go to Consentino's at 13th and Main
https://goo.gl/maps/8jhXQjdxyzC2
http://cosentinosmarket.com/locations/downtown/

Also, if you can't visit The Roasterie main cafe (close to Boulevard Brewery), Consentino's serves their coffee. It is my favorite coffee, as it is air-roasted.

[

Ride the Streetcar!

Getting around to different parts of Downtown KC is easy and free, thanks to the new streetcar:
