Allison will spearhead The Dolphin Tavern Book Project, a multi-media collaborative work of fiction, illustration, photography, and painting, compiled into a new style of literature. The project's narrative follows the life of three young women in Philadelphia as they confront issues of sexuality, race, violence, mental health, identity, and friendship before the backdrop of a city in the midst of gentrification. The narrative style of the project will be emotional and non-linear, supported by visual art meant to evoke the essence of the city.
