Notice the two Seattle writers included below and consider supporting this innovative publisher:

Dear Poetry Readers and Friends of Chax Press:

Poetry, for me, is a community of writers, readers, ideas, words, shapes, and sounds arranged or just appearing in space and time in such a way as to invite others to enter, to open the spaces words occupy. In this way, the work of Chax Press is part of this poetic endeavor, as well as a practice that expands and deepens the community of contemporary literature.

Chax is once again binding up a year rich in print. Our hand bound volume of Drum Hadley’s poems has been published, and pages of words and machine images by Nico Vassilakis are on the Vandercook Press as I write this. We are about to complete a year with lots of good news, like our summer Book Arts Workshop, and some fourteen book publications, including books by Alice Notley, Leslie Scalapino, Charles Olson, Tenney Nathanson, Jonathan Stalling, and many more…

Our upcoming books, that you will help to print with your contribution, come from diverse voices: Nico Vassilakis, Will Alexander, Eileen Myles, Andrew Levy, Linh Dinh, Jennifer Bartlett, Robert Mittenthal, Maureen Owen, and others that together form a distinct, unreplicated corps of authors whose work needs to be present in our time.

No amount of giving is too small or too large. For every gift over $60, we will even send you one of our earliest books, chosen specifically with you in mind…Chax Press is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and your contribution is tax deductible.

Toward Cascadian Independence: For the Life of the Place as a Whole

What end does politics serve? Surely it must serve ends beyond itself. Why seek greater bioregional autonomy? For self-determination. Yes, but what purpose in turn shall that value serve? None some may say, it’s self-justifying. But then it becomes an absolute unto itself which can be used to justify many different things, some questionable. Why not come right out at the beginning and say what you’re really for?
The primary purpose of seeking greater bioregional identity and autonomy is to serve the life of the place and its people as a whole. Indeed, the primary purpose of Politics is to serve the life of the place and its people on many levels in an equitable and sustainable way.
