   Manic D Press's Blurbs
About me:
Manic D Press was founded by Jennifer Joseph in 1984 as an alternative outlet for young writers seeking to bring their work into print. We are an award-winning literary press based in San Francisco, California publishing fiction (novels and short stories), poetry, art, comix, cultural studies, and alternative travel books. We represent a diverse group of unique writers and artists, with emphasis on those who have been shunned by the traditional publishing establishment for lacking commercial viability, regardless of their talent or future promise. Manic D Press books are distributed to the trade throughout the US by Consortium, Last Gasp, SPD, and all major wholesalers. Canadian distribution: PGC, and UK / European distribution is through Turnaround. Visit www.manicdpress.com to order direct.

Here's Manic D publisher Jennifer Joseph talking about books and anarchy at the 2007 Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair - w/thanks to videographer Erika Ransom...

And here's a very fun new video made by our friends at Creativity Explored for outsider artist Michael Bernard Loggins' Imaginationally: Michael's Lovable Fun of Dictionaries ... Enjoy!

Here's a nice little reminiscence about the '90s SF spoken word scene by Stephen Elliot that ran in the SF Chronicle on Sunday ... time flies when yer havin' fun!
Who I'd like to meet:
People who love reading books, talking about books, trading books, reviewing books, turning books into movies, turning books into tv shows, turning books into other books.

Hi! Thanks for the add! My life resembles some of the poetry from Michelle Tea's book, The Beautiful, only a bi- male version with a totally different family and different personal life and experiences. I take inspiration nonetheless (don't think that was her intention), and I appreciate the introduction to her work and your press a couple years back at the NY Small Press Book Fair. Happy 25th!

HAPPY POETRY MONTH, MANIC D:

I’m reading on the Moe Green Poetry Hour (www. blogtalkradio. com/onword) tomorrow at High Noon (CST). If you can’t catch it live, it’ll be available on the show’s archives.

Check out Yusef Komunyakaa later this month, too.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was an introverted valerian-drinking distempered dervish constantly storming naked through college dormitory halls, screaming out Dostoyevsky quotes and the ingredients to Underwood Deviled Ham while completely whacked-out on cortisone and conundrums...

Happy holidays anyway, Jen.

All the best in the New Year!
