Awst started with a chapbook series, which features selections curated by well-known Austin writers such as Amy Gentry and Owen Egerton. These chapbooks have hand-stitched binding and covers designed by artists, making each one a unique object. Unlike other examples in this exhibit, the Awst chapbook series feature multiple genres of writing. Here, we have examples of short fiction by Dallas writer LaToya Watkins and queer Austin writer Bridget Brewer.
