Each week I check the PO Box in Clatskanie, and for the last couple months I have been greeted by a new poetry card from Clifford Burke. Initially I thought these little publications were Desert Rose Press's contribution to National Poetry Month, but as they kept arriving through May and June I realized they are a gift of activism using the language of poetry to register dissent and offer hope. Thanks, Clifford, for these messages that arrive by post and stay in my mind as we struggle through the dismantling of Representative Democracy.
Notes about recent print projects and activities, as well as interesting bits related to archiving, art, printing and typecasting communities.
