Participating Writers and Artists

Our anniversary show highlighted six pairs of writers and artists whose work fell into the format of how TLE generally publishes work, as well as the work included in our “Exquiste Fantastic” project, which used an exquisite corpse format to create a string of 11 new pieces of writing, video, photography, and more.
