Issue 17: Home and Away

Issue 16 is yet another relaunch of KGB Bar Lit. Titled “Home and Away,” our writers interrogated themes of belonging, escape and change, things that are all too relevant on the Lower East Side.

This issue is dedicated to the memory of Pat Zumhagen, author, poet, inspiring editor of KGB Bar Lit and dear friend. She will be missed.
