What's a literary review doing advertising in the loo of my favorite demi-monde tavern? @FoggedClarity

Hello Ryan Daly and Ben Evans,

I was imbibing at the Lakeshore Tavern Wednesday evening, and I
noticed a broadsheet for Fogged Clarity on the wall of the loo, above
the porcelains. Usually, one sees broadsheets for a hustling rock
bands in there, but the topic was literary and the quality of
presentation was reminiscent of Granta. I did think I was
hallucinating.

I found briefing on the web, written by our erstwhile film and culture
critic at the Chronicle, Bill Iddings,
http://www.mlive.com/features/chronicle/index.ssf?/base/features-0/1233944108188770.xml&coll=8,
so I can understand the localness of Fogged Clarity, despite its
nation and international scope.

The cultural community in Muskegon is so diffuse and nascent, it's
stunning to find a literary magazine operating locally. Any ideas how
that state of affairs can be changed?

Best to your efforts,

Wilbo
