Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Poor Yorick table at the AWP 2015 Bookfair in Minneapolis. Thank you also to those of you who took the time to view our 1932 Vogue magazine and write a 6 word short. Here are some of the shorts. Apologies if I mispelled names or if I didn’t give someone credit—I had trouble reading some of the writing! Contact me if I need to make updates at editor@pooryorickjournal.com. Thanks for your support of Poor Yorick!
