Although there was no category for best reading series, we are happy to announce that Carissa has been nominated for the Boston Phoenix’s Best of Boston as best author and apt has been nominated as best “literary gang.” If you would like to cast your votes, you can do so here:
Just so you know, there is also a write-in section on each ballot. So, let’s say you wanted to vote for best poet. You could vote for past Literary Firsts readers Elisa Gabbert, Gillian Devereux, and Liam Day, or upcoming poets April Ranger and Michael Lynch. Or maybe you want to vote for our generous hosts, Middlesex Lounge. THESE ARE ALL GOOD IDEAS! So, go forth, vote early, and vote often.
