CityLit Project |

CityLit Project nurtures the culture of literature in Baltimore and throughout Maryland. CityLit seeks to increase public appreciation for quality literature and to enhance the ability of local and area writers to create literature and reach larger audiences. CityLit is building a community of readers and writers, and provides opportunities for the public to learn about, connect with, and celebrate the fundamental value of literature.

THANK YOU from CityLit Project!

Thank you, Baltimore and Maryland, for making CityLit Festival V the best festival yet. Nearly 1500 people took in all or part of the day on April 19 to enjoy 26 literary artists over the course of 15 different programs. The 50-plus exhibitors made for the most bustling Literary Marketplace to date, and the "What's My Lit?" feature provided opportunities for many of them to describe their literary art, small press, or lit magazine to the public.

Mark your calendars for CityLit Festival VI on April 18, 2009. Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz (The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao) is already scheduled as one of our headliners.

Graduates are...

Mary Lorraine Bargteil is troubled by her name, artifacts, and alignment. Frequently inconsistent, her creative efforts have resulted in publication in poetry, short story, novella, and essay. One of her creative objectives is to make books from existing materials and to excavate territories and characters where the artifacts are sketchy at best. Her most recent collection was discovered when she was reading the unsubstantiated account of Lilith and broke her grandfather's Baltimore and Ohio railroad official china egg cup. She finds significance in things that are broken.
