North Coast Voices
What is it that makes a region unique? That’s the question we want to answer. America’s North Coast, defined for this anthology as adjacent to Lake Erie from Toledo to Buffalo and even Michigan. In their voices, we want to hear the poetic stories of those who have lived, worked, vacationed or just passed through this region. See flyer for more info and link to website.

Consequence Volume 17.1 Now Available
In Consequence Volume 17.1, a theme emerges of how affecting a difference doesn’t only have to happen on a global scale—it can and should include the more local ones. This is maybe most conspicuously expressed in the essay “A Trip to Kosovo” where a doctor returns to the war-torn country to navigate its broken bureaucracy in hopes of getting his nephew immediate cancer treatment and ends on the line: If the world can be saved, it will be by small acts of kindness. View flyer for more information.
Now Out from #Ranger Press: Noetic Variations, v1 and v2
Noetic Variations, v1 and v2 are experiments in extreme poetic abstraction, eschewing the appearance of formal narrative and mainstream convention. The NV project is an exciting postmodern exercise in pure language, stripped of all meaning and impervious to literary interpretation. Download free copies here: V1 V2 or purchase here: V1 V2. View flyer for more information.
