I love the concept beehind these micro-chaps. These books are about the size of a small palm, and are scattered around various cities across the country. They are left on buses, in bathrooms, at bars, all sorts of disparate places. It brings to mind poetic spores riding on the wind, landing, and birthing lyrical fruit. Richard Hansen, the founder of this press has quite an extensive booklist. Poets like Ed Chaberek, Anne Waldman, and Charles Bukowski are included, along with numerous others. This is a unique venture,
whose purpose is to publish and distribute poetry that benefits the poet and the readers.
