The Mad Hatter Dupont Circle

The last time I was in Dupont Circle it was to march with my friends against the first Iraq War under George H.W. Bush’s regime. We chanted “no blood for oil!”

Washington D.C. doesn’t know what’s coming—we are!

Ping-Pong Free Press and Poet Republik Ltd. Books will be exhibiting with Henry Miller Memorial Library at the AWP Conference & Bookfair next week in Washington DC. You can find us at table 733-T. We feel like it’s kismet the conference takes place in Washington D.C. Writers and intellectuals have always been on the frontline of resistance. We are not the voice of the voiceless, they have a voice: we are merely the conduit from which these varied and disparate voices can be heard. We are committed to the writings of refugees, immigrants, women, and many under-represented groups, oh yeah, men too, we love men. We are committed to resistance to fascism in all its forms.

River and Poet Laureate of the United States, Juan Felipe Herrera, AWP 2016

 

Our newest books from Ping-Pong Free Press tells the story of that proto-feminist Medea, in Jameson O’Hara Laurens’ Medeaum. We also have A Small Suitcase of Russian Poetry featuring those writers who were persecuted, imprisoned and killed for their writings against the state, timely no? Forthicoming publication of Elliot Ruchowitz-Roberts’ poetry collection, White Fire.

Poet Republik Ltd. is proud to publish Kate Lutzner’s Invitation to a Rescue, a delicate tale of lovers.

We’re super proud to release J. Hope Stein’s collection, Occasionally, I Remove your Brain through Your Nose, an experiential and experimental collection of poems in the land of chaos. Official release in April. Advance copies will be available at AWP and here.
