Produced by Brooklyn-based creative communications agency Praytell, Radiator showcases the leading edge of Brooklyn & NYC and is full of ideas from both up and coming and established local talents. Copies of the journal will be available for purchase at the Housing Works event and all funds raised through sales will be donated directly to Housing Works, benefiting their mission to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS.

"We wanted to put forth a book that focused on the art radiating in this city we call home. Kurt Boone, and all of our writers, are true artists--they're the movers and shakers of the NYC literary world today," said Nicole Cloutier, Editor of Radiator and Strategist at Praytell.
