We want to be troubled and inspired by the work. If there is anything explicitly outside our aesthetic, it is work that does not trouble us. We also want to be challenged by the distinct and diverse aesthetics of the various editors working together in this collective press.

If you’re going to get through this and if you’re going to thrive, you need friends and maybe “a community”. It’s sort of a trick word. Sometimes it seems like…

ND/SA publishes new poetry chapbook manuscripts by emerging, diverse New York City writers. We are generally excited by a unified text with a strong sense of voice and purpose and a startling use of beautiful, difficult language.

Note from the Editor: For the 100th (!!!) entry in our Small Press Database, we’re going back in time to the first small press interview we ever conducted, with Writ Large Press…

Birdwolf is a new year-long project authored by the collective Entropy community. It is a collaborative online epic poem written by the Entropy community on a weekly basis. A different…

Though Burrow’s books and media reach beyond our city, the literary community in Orlando is really what sustains us. I’ve written a whole overview of Orlando’s lit community, but, in short, there are a lot of talented writers from all kinds of backgrounds. Tons of these writers come out to literary events, and many run their own literary events, host podcasts, volunteer at a bookstore or with kids, run a press, and thus contribute to the local lit community. I think one projects inspires the next, and it all works because writers here support each other. Other artists are also aware of their literary arts counterparts, and the local media recognizes literature more and more alongside the “mainstream” arts like dance and theater (and pop culture events). Burrow was created in order to find this community, and so if Orlando hadn’t turned out to be such a great place to be a writer/editor/publisher, Burrow probably wouldn’t exist.

Documentaries are an odd thing for me. I love them while I’m watching them, but I’m always reluctant to turn one on. I think it’s because, no matter how interesting…

Before the New Year begins, we thought it time to list our favorite television shows of 2014. You can probably tell a lot about us intrepid Entropiers from this list.…

Last week will go down as the week I started sending myself text messages. Not notes in an emergency, just language at risk of becoming unmoored because its urgency could…

Dear Mothership, I believe it’s important to be part of literary community, yet I am often discouraged by the back-biting and competitive behavior of writers. It seems like so many…
