You may have seen it in storefronts around Phoenix, or at a booth off Roosevelt and Fifth Street one First Friday. You may have come across pages and pages of stories, prose, and artwork from hundreds of contributors. Some contributors are experienced writers, some are just having fun. But many of them are local, from right here in the Valley. And if you haven't seen Four Chambers Magazine yet... you will.
And who knows - you may be one of the authors published inside the pages.
Jake Friedman, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Four Chambers Magazine, didn't start meeting people right away when he moved to the Phoenix area almost 3 years ago. He didn't feel truly at home until he started attending local poetry readings and open mic nights.
"The interaction you have with people at those types of events - you get such a strong bond interacting with them; a bond you don't get from walking down the other side of the street," Friedman said. "Literature is how I met my friends here. Creating a bigger variety of events, a bigger physical existence of literature... we really are trying to build a community here, where people can come together and share something substantial and meaningful."
