About me: The press strives to perpetuate writing and culture within our community and in the world at large. We push the envelope while respecting the classic, opening channels to contemporary art, encompassing a wide panorama of print media representing a community of passionate, true artists who create dedicated, purposeful work. The press provides a bridge, access to the printed page. Dedicated to supporting language that brings about change and shifts paradigms, both personal and societal. Our books are works of art unto themselves, each one designed uniquely and personally with a strong sense of quality D.I.Y. craftsmanship. We love our community and want to share the amazing talent we see, with it. And in turn, we want to share our community with the world..........................

~Abraham Maslow~ The key question isn't "What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.
i thought that you might be a good information source on places for jazz in portland... a friend of mine has a cousin coming into town who is looking to see/play jazz... can you send me a list of places?
A Fine Thanksgiving Day to you, however you do it or don't do it. I realize this is the sort of day that may seem redundant to a person of your humanity.
Thanks for being a friend of the Jesse Bernstein tribute page!
Please consider subscribing to the blog; we will continue to publish short stories, poems and essays by Jesse, as well as periodic essays by people who knew and worked with him. And comments about the pieces in the blog, Jesse's work generally and the tribute page are always fun and welcomed.
"The test of the integrity of a poem, or any work of art, may be, simply: does it lead, in the end, to freedom, or does it merely expand the arena of confinement? A voice from the outside, truly, is what we need to hear. Even a single word. Even something that is not a word, but suggests such a word."
