D.W. Hamilton delivers a delightful mystery novel complete with poetry and spells
The subtitle of D.W. Hamilton’s compelling, surrealist debut novel tells us that it is a supernatural murder mystery, and the cover notes that it contains 23 poems and 6 spells. Those few hints, along with the cover art. might be enough to draw you in, but the author’s foreword, explaining how he deliberately mixes surrealism into a mystery genre novel, should give you a pretty good idea of what’s to come. And Hamilton delivers. The (frankly terrific) poems serve as introductions to each chapter, and the sp

Queer zines making a comeback in Seattle; A history of counterculture, connection, and liberation
Before social media and the internet dominated nearly every facet of modern life, Queer people had very few outlets to express themselves authentically. In the realm of print media, there weren’t many public forums in which to discuss queerness besides the SGN and other LGBTQIA+ publications (that had op-ed and classified sections). Today, in line with Gen Z’s emerging neo-luddite movement, many younger Queer and Trans people are turning away from algorithmically curated and monitored digital spaces (that a

A dreamy season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
Dreams are central to four outstanding productions of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) 2026 season, out of the seven I attended.

Your Guide to July 2026 in Seattle
Today on the show, host Jane C. Hu is joined by producers Ashley Smith, Sam J. Leeds, and Liam Billingham to discuss all the best things to do in July. Liam requests recommendations for day trips on the ferry, and the team delivers: from a popsicle stand on Vashon to one square inch of silence in the Hoh Rain Forest. Plus, they discuss summer hikes, including the gorgeous turquoise Diablo Lake and Jane’s tip to check out hidden gems in Teanaway. Then, Sam gives a history of the surprisingly chaotic origins of Seafair, including literally setting ships on fire in Elliott Bay. Liam asks the great philosophical question of our times: can a rave be in the morning if it hasn’t started the night before? And finally, everyone runs through the month's best events like free movies at Northwest Film Forum, a fashion show on decommissioned railroad tracks, a 206-mile bike ride to Portland, and a dance night for the Swifties.
