you say. say.

Rhythm, risk, reach... A sensitivity to words that sparkle on the page and in performance spark off it. Uphook Press specializes in work by poets and spoken word artists who love both the ink and the mike. Twenty-nine poets from San Francisco, Nashville, Denver, Dagsboro, Portlands Maine and Oregon, elsewhere, and New York write the gamut from Starbucks to whale walkers, chalk outlines to honeymooning, cranky operettas to the ping of a microwave signaling the end. Featuring Judith Arcana, Samantha Barrow, Paul Belanger, Alex O. Bleecker, Tony Burfield, Patrick Cahill, Malaika Favorite, Thomas Fucaloro, Christian Georgescu, Thomas Gibney, Gary Hanna, Robert Harris, Suzanne Heagy, Aimee Herman, Kit Kennedy, Joan Payne Kincaid, Laura LeHew, Richard Loranger, G.L. Pettigrew, Sarah Sarai, Thandiwe Shiphrah, Michael Shorb, Mary McLaughlin Slechta, Karin Spitfire, Charles F. Thielman, Geoffrey Jason Kagan Trenchard, Joanna Valente, Stefanie Wielkopolan, Laura Madeline Wiseman. you say. say. also includes an interview with the award-winning poet Matthew Zapruder.
