TinFish Press
A small (but fierce) press based in Kane‘ohe and tirelessly tended by my colleague Susan Schultz, TinFish puts out experimental writing in book, chapbook, journal, and online formats. The press pairs up poets and designers to create publications that are as good looking as they are good.
Electronic Book Review
Some of the best criticism of electronic literature appears in EBR, which augments contributions with an especially fine incarnation of intelligent design.
The Pinky Show
The complicated colonial history and current politics of Hawai‘i, from the standpoint of enlightened animated cats.
Born Magazine
Like TinFish, the Born project—still amazing after all these years—is committed to fostering collaboration between writers and designers.
