Collaborating with scores of emerging and established writers, poets, and artists — Spittoon organizes regular literature readings and artistic performances hosted in intimate lesser-known venues. Aspiring poets can benefit from Spittoon’s constructive poetry workshops, which guide untapped talents to find their voice.

Spittoon’s staple publication —The Spittoon Literary Magazine — showcases poetry and fiction from contemporary Chinese writers to an English-language audience.

CUE (China Urban Expression) — Spittoon’s new comic book series — works with promising young Chinese artists to create well-crafted visual narratives.
