Tired of Trump tweets? Bummed by Batali broadcasts? Hitting your head against the wall with every horrific headline? Us too. That’s why we asked seven local writers and artists to each prepare an original piece of fiction, essay, or poetry and accompanying artwork for this week’s Literary issue. Think of it as our little thank you for being loyal readers. And if you’ve never read City Paper before, well, don’t say we never gave ya anything.
