Life Harvester is a monthly newsletter from my semi-retirement here in the Paris of Appalachia, Pittsburgh, PA, in which I review items, objects, people, places, and experiences that I encounter. Mild cultural criticism from an out of practice writer trying to get back in the habit. News, reviews, and advice from a shmuck. Monthly emails are free, or you can read the archive.

Individual print subscriptions (and more!) are available through my patreon or at the sliding scale button below.

Subscription costs are at your discretion. For the foreseeable future all the money I make will be donated to mutual aid funds and activist groups. Subscriptions are only available in the US, Canada and Mexico. If you are outside the US, please select the $3 or $4 subscription only.

You can send in your book/record/whatever for review but I’m not making any promises:
Life Harvester / P.O. Box 82551 / Pittsburgh, PA 15218
