The Fearless Reader is a platform for poets and fiction writers to share their writing aloud. After each reading, I chat with the writer to learn more about them and their work. The Fearless Reader is affiliated with Spittoon, a 100% volunteer run arts collective based in China. We publish a literary magazine of Chinese writing in translation, host monthly reading nights, a book club, and other events. The music is courtesy of Macondo, and the cover art was created by Ana Padilla Fornieles.
