“Everything seemed possible
during the summer time

With thoughts illuminated
by the finest cheap cider

But the walls of that house
came crashing down around us

Like our dreams and ideas
and our heads the next morning”
Martin Appleby, Worse Things Happen At Sea

“The stars are a free show; it don’t cost anything to use your eyes”
George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

“Laugh up to the end
and
through it.”
Hosho McCreesh

“KEEP BOOKS DANGEROUS
Support small press
publishers, writers,
& artists.”
Hosho McCreesh

“If you join them,
You will always be
At odds with them
And everything they stand for.”
Joseph Ridgwell, lost elation
