I have strong opinions about art and about publishing, and while it can sometimes be difficult to get people’s attention, I do believe that one can build a devoted, engaged community around a press, just as punk rock communities often coalesce around a particularly beloved venue.

Underground Voices started as an online literary magazine showcasing writing that was hard-hitting and raw. I didn’t see any magazine that embraced that style of fiction and poetry so I wanted to fill the gap and offer a platform to those kinds of writers: a space where their work could be seen and read. I love books, though, so I slowly moved Underground Voices in the direction of a small press: first publishing annual short story collections and finally publishing novels, which is where it’s at now.

We aim to remain fluid, open, human. The Rescue you see now may or may not resemble the Rescue of the future. We’re interested in work that celebrates darkness, humour, hybridity, gesture, bewilderment, and limits. We are inspired by strong women and visionary literature, by writers who think about art, by ritual and asymmetry. Rescue is currently located in Iowa City, Chicago, and Cleveland—we are diehard Midwesterners—and the crew these days includes our Creative Director Sevy Perez and our Editorial Assistants Alyssa Perry and Zach Isom.
