Architrave Press!
I recently received the news that one of my poems has been accepted for the Second Edition from Architrave Press due in Spring 2012. This new poetry press out of St. Louis publishes letterpress printed poems on fine paper, separate pages which one can purchase individually or together in an edition of multiple. The first Edition contains eleven poems by such poets as Julie Moore, Corey Mesler, and Kelli Allen and can be purchased singly or as a complete set online here. From their website: “Each page is printed on 5 ½” x 8″ archival card stock using antique letterpress methods. We do this for several reasons: digital age readers have many choices, so any physically printed material must be special; poetry itself is special and deserves an elegant vehicle; and most of all, we want to catch the eyes of intelligent, artful readers who don’t yet realize there is poetry in the world they enjoy.” Right on!
Maybe…
Maybe at night we split up into different beings, and one of them comes back here, to stand inside this barn, with only one eye…
