Verbatim is a celebration of experiments in language, text, and sound, bringing together local presses and labels to sell their wares and curate live performances throughout the day. A wide range of small press poetry books, chapbooks, and broadsides will be for sale, as well as tapes and records from independent labels on the forefront of contemporary experimental music. This year, Wave Farm / WGXC will be broadcasting the full schedule of performances over the airwaves.
