ACQUIRING VERSES FROM THE UNDERGROUND
Where can I find Verses From the Underground in Philadelphia?
We distribute Verses for FREE at Chapterhouse Cafe & Gallery, Molly's Books & Records, Wooden Shoe Books, Eremita Cafe, and the Parkway Central Library.
I went to go pick up a copy of Verses but nothing was there
At the moment, we only distribute the most recent issue of Verses once a week, on Friday afternoons. It's likely that all of the copies we dropped off had already been grabbed.
I don’t live in Philadelphia. How can I read Verses?
Verses From The Underground is exclusively released in a physical format, we don't make anything available digitally. If you'd like to have a copy of Verses mailed to you, you can make a request on the website.
