We are a collective of diverse, LA-based writers and artists whose work defies ready classification and spans the full scope of the past quarter century. We are poets and fiction writers, essayists, political activists, a painter, a film-maker.Among us we have published a long list of books from small literary presses, to New York commercial presses, to regional presses, international presses, and university presses. Our work has appeared here and abroad in journals, art galleries, theaters, and film festivals. We have come together to create, promote, and celebrate new books of literary writing and astounding art.
