ANPQuarterly Issue 9

This 9th issue marked two years of ANPQuarterly publishing.

"... And actually, the thing in this issue about Wildfire Wildfire and the current state of underground art music in Baltimore fits into this pattern as well as does the New York Art Book Fair, and the artwork and DIY approach of Mark McCoy and his notorious hardcore record label Youth Attack, both of which are included in this issue as well. Huh. But then again, we're giving space to artists Ashley Macomber and Leigh LeDare, both of whom are just warming up in the world, but have so so much more to come and we're beyond honored to have them in here. And there's more..."
