For nearly three years, we've been hosting our monthly reading series, Sunflower Nights. During this time, we've had the pleasure of showcasing poets, storytellers, and artists from all walks of life in the back patio of Tabula Rasa in East Hollywood. These nights have bloomed into a vibrant community of voices, vulnerability, and joy. We are eternally grateful to everyone who has read or attended one of our events and look forward to seeing all your beautiful faces at the next one. 💖

Our mission to support writers and artists is two-pronged: publishing books and hosting readings. Up until now, our events have only been a moment in time. A gathering of like-minded people in a cozy back patio. The time has come to celebrate and make something from our time together. We have curated a collection of poems and one short story from folks who’ve shared their work on our stage.

The Process

Perennials will be risograph printed. It's a bold, colorful, and eco-friendly method that complements our DIY ethos and community spirit. We’re working with a printer based in New York, keeping the run small and intentional.

Here's a quick video that shows the process!

We need your help to bring it to life. We're fundraising to help cover printing costs. Our fundraising goal is $1,350.

Your donation helps:

📘 Cover printing & paper costs
📘 Celebrate the work of our Los Angeles community

Whether you’ve read at Sunflower Nights, sat in the audience, or just want to support grassroots literary work, we’d love for you to be a part of this next chapter.

Any amount helps—and every dollar brings us closer to print.

Please donate and share!

With love,
The Sunflower Station Press Team
