Dear Uncle R., Here’s what the stories have told me: you died in 1987 at home, not in Vietnam. I was born in 1990. My coworker—an army reserve who saw…

Thoughtcrime Press
by Entropy January 6, 2017I disagree with the concept of profit over creation all the time. I would like to see more small presses create an occasional space for writers whose work they think is good, but not necessarily marketable, to have the support of their staff and artists to create the equivalent of locally produced zines that just happen to look like modern poetry books. The collections that could come out of that “unpopular” literature movement would likely create the conversations we’ll be having ten or twenty years from now.

Ink Press Productions
by Entropy March 29, 2016We decided to purposefully “blur lines” because that is what we were doing naturally. We are influenced most by the people and materials we work with. Materials come in many different forms—writing, color, personality, paper. Materials come in ink and we are inspired by the tracks. Right now, we enjoy our openness—not knowing what next five years will bring. We love the fact that our aesthetic and mission will evolve over time—as we grow and invite more people into the collaborative process.

The Green Lantern Press
by Entropy January 5, 2016I will say that the beauty of a small press is that you can take small risks, and ideally use any limitations as assets. One of the things that I love about the stories of Black Mountain College is that they had little in terms of resources but nevertheless had a tremendous cultural impact. Of course it’s easier to think like that now that we have a degree of stability, but especially in the beginning we had little to no overhead. Which is a good thing, because it took about four years before the first two books we’d published paid for themselves. Since then the press mostly maintains itself, but definitely I would say it’s a lucky thing to break even on a project and any earned income goes into future publishing projects.

Write Bloody Publishing
by Entropy June 9, 2015Write Bloody authors are diverse and out there—in small record shops and large colleges, in strange theaters and swampy bars—doing readings all across Europe, Australia and the United States. Going to a reading will one day be as common as going to the movies or to see a band and Write Bloody is currently paving the way. Our books are found in bookstores around the world from Guam to Berlin.
