Mid-summer at KotaPress, July 2002

There is so much happening here that it's getting difficult to keep up! Especially on these beautiful Pacific NW days when you just want to run outside and play :)

We're excited to bring you this July issue of KotaPress and to share other news, too. This month we again feature Trevor Hewett, and we're thrilled to tell you that Trevor's collection "Drift" will be released from KotaPress at the end of summer! You won't want to miss this classy collection (hand pressed cover, hand bound, beautifully printed by Lindsay Henderson *PLUS* awesome poetry and a couple of Trevor's photographs!!!). Look for that in about 8 weeks.

In the meantime, you have to read through this whole issue of amazing poetry! Heather Merrill and R.M. Engelhardt both knock me out-- FAB poets! Plus works from new KotaPress contributors Dan Ridel, Darla Cady, Lloyd Graham, Senem Evrim Ozer, Townee, Alex Kocan, Justin Foster, Kristine Ong Muslim, and Alec Whittle. And awesome works from KotaPress veterans Pat West, Charlene Roberts, and moi :)

Don't miss the review of cool poetry sites, the new Poetry Therapy column, Vashon feature of Richard Lipke's FAB digital works, and our Behind the Scenes with 1000 Journals! Someguy at 1000 Journals has soooo much great information in this interview about the project. If you are a paper and pen writer, a lover or mail art projects, or just a creative soul-- you'll dig this!

Enjoy your KotaPress mid-summer break!!!

Miracles to you,
