    Get out of the cold and have some fortifying drink and tasty snacks with the staff of ZYZZYVA -- and enjoy a reading from contributors to ZYZZVYA's newest release, the Winter Issue. Come hear an unusual but warm Christmas tale about furtive sex from Chaney Kwak, poetry from Carolyn Miller, a story about a misguided visit home (via BART, to Richmond) from Brian Boies  and Earl McCartney's story of a young family man adrift in a (chilly) small town. Hosted by ZYZZYVA editors Laura Cogan and Oscar Villalon.   Chaney Kwak ("Oh Oh Oh," ZYZZYVA No. 96) is an award-winning travel writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and Hemispheres, among other places.  “Oh Oh Oh” is first fiction in print. He lives in San Francisco.   Carolyn Miller ("Winter," ZYZZYVA No. 96) is writer, painter, and book editor living in San Francisco. Miller’s most recent book is the poetry collection Light, Moving (Sixteen Rivers Press).   Brian Boies made his publishing debut in fiction in ZYZZYVA No. 95 with his short story "A House Well Furnished." He lives in San Francisco.    Earle McCartney ("Sawmill," ZYZZYVA No. 96) is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. He lives in San Francisco.
