Wapsipinicon Almanac


The Wapsipinicon Almanac was an almanac published by Route 3 Press in Anamosa, Iowa for more than 25 years. It was handmade on antique letterpress equipment by Timothy Fay and featured stories, reviews, essays and poems. The first issue, published in 1988, sold out, and the publication subsequently became a staple of the Iowa literary scene, including an annual Iowa Public Radio reading broadcast/streamed from Prairie Lights Books in Iowa City, a UNESCO City of Literature. Fay retired the publication with the 2018 issue, the 25th.
