Check out LEMONADE & RUMORS by Julie Ann Cook

The individuality of the narrator's voice throughout this collection is deceptively duplicitous. While the honesty here is courageously candid, be warned that, from the outset, this author has the power of poetic license to lie. But also know that there is truth in these poems that transcend the individual to become the human story for each and every one of us. Order your copy today at the THRIFT Store. And check out our other chapbooks too!

THRIFT 6 Limited Edition: Some copies still available...

Our sixth issue features cover art by Jason Mullis. Spider’s Creation was composed of three 6'x8' panels, torn down by the hands of Charlotte artists, writers, and musicians and glued to the covers of the sixth issue. Jason’s inspiration for the piece is an African creation story. **NOTE: THRIFT Poetic Arts Journal is currently on a temporary hiatus. Our apologies for any inconvenience, but please check back for updates.**

Jason takes one last look at Spider's Creation before the destruction.
