The latest Wapsipinicon Almanac (No. 16) is now available. This issue features the Almanac’s usual varied fare: essays addressing the highs and lows of everyday midwest living, reviews of recent regional books, cutting edge fiction, a few poems, shorter almanac-type entries, original artwork and advertising from smallish and creative businesses and institutions of which every Iowan should be aware.

Publisher Timothy Fay of rural Anamosa edits and prints the Almanac. He produces it on letterpress equipment that creates a special feel and appearance that today’s readers will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. This issue’s cover features an original woodcut from Quad Cities artist James Konrad.
