Bat City Review, an annual literary mag founded and run entirely by creative writing graduate students at UT-Austin, celebrates the launch of its 20th issue this Saturday at one of the newest additions to Austin’s literary scene, the lovely First Light Books on Speedway. Since its inception in 2004, Bat City Review has been dedicated to supporting emerging writers and artists, and publishes a wide swath of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and visual art. It’s edited by MFA candidates from the New Writers Project, Michener Center for Writers, and UT Studio Art, and “has aroused the attention of the small-press literary scene and earned a reputation as one of the most consistently rich literary magazines published today,” First Light enthuses. The event will include short readings from authors and editors alike. – Lina Fisher
