This was an unscheduled pop-up project in 2016, handmade in an unnumbered limited edition for $3, and the inaugural title in our irregular Process Pamphlet series. One dollar from each printed copy sold was donated to LAMBDA LEGAL (www.lambdalegal.org) for their tireless battle to protect LGBTQ people in the United States. (They are not affiliated with the press or this project, except as our designated beneficiary for these donations.) The other $2 covered materials & postage. It sold out quickly. A free digital edition was simultaneously released. It can be read or downloaded here.
Excerpts
“This is a call to poets to stand together and vow to never change what we write and what we say when any part of the government body asks this of us.”
“No matter how many poems I write I cannot undo my complicity, I cannot reverse the sea of gravestones, and my poems will never be an apology worth a single life taken by our collective national ignorance, greed and irrational fear.”
“We need as many people being creative right now as possible because it is the creative people who will solve the problems facing the survival of our species.”
