Volume 10
Welcome back to Main Squeeze – we present Volume 10, filled with poems, stories, and artwork from 33 contributors! This year we asked for urban graffiti and gut punches, and our writers and artists delivered. Volume 10 features a wrestler’s quest for redemption, a terrifying yet beautiful ceramic mask, BREASTS!, queer love, dead deer, giant foreheads, Ben Shapiro’s struggles at the grocery store, a fever dream about Nicholas Cage, bees (unrelated), and so much more. Enter at your own risk, for once you begin to read, there’s no turning back!
