Beat Scene is a UK-based magazine dedicated to the work, the history, and the cultural influences of the Beat Generation. This has 
included artists, musicians, and filmmakers, as well its best known and more obscure writers and publishers. The content largely 
consists of articles, memoirs, interviews and reviews.<br><br>


Beat Scene was founded in 1988 by editor and publisher Kevin Ring in Coventry, England. His personal fascination for the Beat Generation, 
in particular Jack Kerouac, was sparked in 1971, but he was frustrated that information about Beat writers and their books was hard to come 
by in the UK at that time.<br><br>


The first Beat Scene and subsequent four issues were thin A5 booklets. Initially, there were only 200 copies produced and hand assembled on 
the kitchen table. As well as the principal Beat writers: Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder, the magazine has featured 
Lord Buckley, James Jones, Chet Baker, Richard Brautigan, Lew Welch, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Lenny Bruce, Ken Kesey, Jack Hirschman, Raymond Carver, 
Robert Frank, Gregory Corso, Diane Di Prima, Jack Micheline, and Carolyn Cassady (who was the first of the magazine�s interview subjects). The 
poet and Kerouac biographer Tom Clark has contributed to the magazine but was also interviewed by Kevin Ring.

California Beat Era-CA Palm Educational Non-Profit: CA Palm, based in California, produces documentaries 
on the avant-garde aspect of American culture, past and present. The focus is on the underground perspective that 
certain individuals maintain in order to create away from the mainstream. This aesthetic had strongly influenced 
our cultural life in the middle of the last century but in recent years there has been an increasing loss of integrity; 
affecting the art, music, and literature produced today. In America, commercialism has taken over with an increasing 
tendency to make everything, including art, into a product to sell. Making culture a business enterprise kills the pure 
spirit so essential in making good art, music, or poetry. CA Palm strives to keep this spirit alive.

The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) serves one of the most active segments of American arts and culture:
the independent publishers of exceptional fiction, poetry, and prose. Literary magazines and presses accomplish 
the backstage work of American literature: discovering new writers; supporting mid-career writers; publishing the 
creative voices of communities underrepresented in the mainstream commercial culture; and preserving literature 
for future readers by keeping books in print.<br><br> 

Independent literary publishing requires a unique balance of art and business. Organizational strength and good 
business practices are as necessary to the survival of these publishers as their editorial work is to the vitality 
of American letters.<br><br> 

As the service organization to these publishers, the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses guides literature 
through the business of publishing.<br><br> 

CLMP believes that stronger organizations and operations result in their members' literature reaching a larger and 
more diverse audience. CLMP's practical approach to this philosophy is two-tiered. Their services and resources 
are designed to develop each member's publishing capacity through increased marketing and organizational skills, 
while CLMP also serves as a nexus of communication, promoting shared learning across the entire field.<br><br> 

The field of literary publishing incorporates a wide diversity of presses and magazines: those with budgets of 
less than $5,000 to those of more than $1 million; publishers working in large cities, rural areas, and every 
place in between; and representing an astounding array of aesthetic and editorial missions.<br><br>

The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses unifies the strengths of this diverse field by serving literary 
publishers' common needs and goals while celebrating their independent voices.

Fairy Tale Review Press is dedicated to helping raise public awareness of the literary and cultural influence of fairy 
tales, and to appreciating their power and depth as an art form. It celebrates fairy tales as one of our oldest and most 
underestimated pleasures. Fairy Tale Review Press seeks to improve the critical understanding of new works sewn from 
fairy tales, and welcome the public to revisit old tales across borders and time, to celebrate their transfixing power, 
and to protect them for future generations of readers.<br><br> 

Fairy Tale Review Press also publishes Fairy Tale Review, an annual literary journal devoted to contemporary fairy tales. 
(Review website for complete submission guidelines.) Founded in 2005 by Kate Bernheimer, the journal provides an elegant venue 
for both established and emerging authors of poetry and prose. <br><br> 


Fairy Tale Review is not devoted to any particular school of 
writing, but rather to fairy tales as an inspiring art form. Fairy tales represent hundreds of years of stories based on thousands 
of years of stories told by hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions of tellers. The mind reels at their influence, omnipresence, 
phosphorescence: like a star or a planet, they shine, ubiquitous and necessary as gravity, as air or ice. Lovers of fairy tales, 
myth, fabulism, magical realism, or simply contemporary literature in general will delight in its pages.<br>

Hedgebrook, Women Authoring Change: Hedgebrook invests in women who write by providing them with space and time 
to create significant work, in solitude and community, and by developing an international network to connect 
writers and audiences. The Hedgebrook Retreat is on Whidbey Island, about thirty-five miles northwest of Seattle. 
Situated on 48-acres of forest and meadow facing Puget Sound, the retreat hosts women writers from all over the 
world for residencies of two weeks to two months, at no cost to the writer. Residents are housed in six 
handcrafted cottages, where they spend their days in solitude � writing, reading, taking walks in the woods on 
the property, on nearby Double Bluff beach, or trails around the island. In the evenings, they gather in the 
farmhouse kitchen to share a home-cooked gourmet meal, their work, their process, and their stories. The women 
who come to Hedgebrook are writing in all genres, and are of all ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, and levels of 
writing experience.

KNOCKOUT Literary Magazine is edited by Jeremy Halinen and Brett Ortler. It is a bi-annual literary magazine 
published in Minneapolis, Minnesota since 2007. It is known for the wide range of styles it publishes, and for 
its dedication to social causes.<br><br>  

KNOCKOUT'S inaugural issue featured National Book Award winners (Robert Bly), 
former US Poets Laureate (Billy Collins), U.S. State Poets Laureate (Marvin Bell, Iowa; Robert Bly, Minnesota), as 
well as winners of other major awards, including the $100,000 Kingsley-Tufts Poetry Prize (Thomas Lux) and the 
Lamont Poetry Prize (Marvin Bell). In addition, several of the poets published in KNOCKOUT have been 
awarded the Pushcart Prize. The second and third issues include work by other notable poets and award winners,
including a Nobel Prize for Literature recipient.<br><br> 

KNOCKOUT features a nearly 50/50 mix of LBGT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual people) and 
straight writers in each issue. Discussing this in an interview with The Minnesota Daily, Halinen said,
"It's something that I don't see a lot of other magazines doing, having a diverse group of writers, working to 
bring them all under one cover."<br><br>

KNOCKOUT donated 50% of the proceeds from its first issue to the Valentino Achak Deng 
Foundation, a 501(c) non-profit which aims to support educational opportunities for those in Southern Sudan.<br>

Lodi Arts Commission: The City of Lodi, CA. has always recognized the importance of the arts in the lives of both its 
citizens and visitors.  The Lodi Arts Commission plays a critical role in translating that commitment into action� but they
cannot do it alone.  Without the support of the City of Lodi, the Lodi Arts Project Fund, and the tireless efforts of 
countless volunteers, they would be unable to provide the robust and diverse arts and culture environment that enriches the
community. They envision unlimited opportunities and resources available to further the arts so that access to participation 
by all community members is not hindered by economic, social, or cultural barriers.  Through the arts, the local economy and 
culture is invigorated for the benefit of their collective future.  To learn about Art on the Square, First Friday Art Hop,

Outta the Blue Poetry Series is a wonderful new series (as of January, 2010) in Roseville, CA. It is held at Roseville Arts Blue 
Line Gallery, a non-profit vibrant community center for the arts.<br> 
<a href="http://bluelinegallery.blogspot.com/2010/01/outta-blue-poetry-series.html" target="_blank">
http://bluelinegallery.blogspot.com/2010/01/outta-blue-poetry-series.html</a> <br><br>

Roseville Arts! (formerly the Roseville Arts Center) is an active community resource. Established 40+ years ago to promote the arts 
in its many formats, Roseville Arts supports local artists and brings artwork from around the world to the area. As a non-profit organization, 
Roseville Arts is entirely funded by memberships, grants, sponsorships, fund raising events, and other donations. 

With the dramatic growth in Placer County, the Roseville Arts Center's board of directors recognized that the center had to change 
significantly to successfully continue its mission. Following the sale of its former facility, the Haman House, the center temporarily 
moved its operations and exhibits to 405 Vernon Street. The Vernon Street facility, a former restaurant and bar turned office space, 
was transformed into the functional 405 Gallery with the generous assistance and dedication of volunteers.

The 405 Gallery has been demolished to make way for a new City of Roseville parking structure. Roseville Arts now occupies the main floor 
in a handsome new arts venue within the structure fronting Vernon Street.

PEN American Center is the largest of the 141 centers of International PEN, the world�s oldest 
human rights organization and the oldest international literary organization. International PEN was 
founded in 1921 to dispel national, ethnic, and racial hatreds and to promote understanding among all
countries. PEN American Center, founded a year later, works to advance literature, to defend free 
expression, and to foster international literary fellowship. The Center has a membership of 3,300+ 
distinguished writers, editors, and translators. In addition to defending writers in prison or in 
danger of imprisonment for their work, PEN American Center sponsors public literary programs and 
forums on current issues, sends prominent authors to inner-city schools to encourage reading and 
writing, administers literary prizes, promotes international literature that might otherwise go 
unread in the United States, and offers grants and loans to writers facing financial or medical 
emergencies. In carrying out this work, PEN American Center builds upon the achievements of such 
dedicated past members as W. H. Auden, James Baldwin, Willa Cather, Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, 
Thomas Mann, Arthur Miller, Marianne Moore, Susan Sontag, and John Steinbeck.<br>

PEN American Center: PEN West based in Berkeley, California is a branch of PEN American Center and was 
begun in the 1980�s with Robert Hass as President. After a brief lapse, it was revived by Valerie Miner 
in 1988-89. PEN West has been in operation with a widening membership ever since with program emphasis 
on literary readings/discussions, translation events, and Freedom-to-Write.  There is an average of 
eight events a year, including panels and bookstore readings, co-sponsored by the local bookstores, 
U.C Berkeley, or The Townsend Center for the Humanities, which are open to the public. Each September, 
PEN West hosts a Banned Book Event at Black Oak Books planned to coincide with public programs at other 
PEN centers across the country. In honor of PEN translation month in May, PEN West often mounts several 
events in bookstores and has recently begun to partner with the Center for Art in Translation in picking 
the winner of the yearly Northern California Book Reviewers Award for translation. The branch has also 
helped support POETRY FLASH, an important Berkeley literary magazine without whose help the other NCBR 
awards for fiction, non-fiction, poetry and children�s literature would be impossible. Every Spring PEN 
West hosts a members-only reception honoring PEN Members and Friends who have published a book in the past 
year, giving branch authors an opportunity to display their books and meet each other, in addition to 
meeting selected editors and agents.

POEMS-FOR-ALL (Richard Hansen) Sacramento, California: They're scattered around town -- on buses, trains, cabs, in restrooms, bars, left 
along with the tip; stuffed into a stranger's back pocket. Whatever. Wherever. Small poems in small booklets half the size of a business card. 
A project of the 24th street irregular press, which cranks them out to be taken by the handful and scattered like seeds by those who want to see 
poetry grow in a barren cultural landscape.<br><br>


Poems-For-All is essentially one guy --Richard Hansen-- making little poetry booklets as fast as he possibly can within those 
moments wedged between work (running a bookstore) and family.

These scans were done at extremely high resolution using high-quality equipment, with some pages at over 200MB each. They were sold 
by Octavo as commercial products on CD-ROM. In 2006 the "Rare Book Room" website was created which contains the complete collection 
in medium to medium-high resolution freely available to the public through a web browser or as a PDF file. Some high resolution 
versions are still being sold by Octavo through a separate website. As of April, 2010 "Rare Book Room" offers 558 books. The repository 
includes books by Galileo, Newton, Copernicus, Kepler, Einstein, and Darwin. It includes most of the Shakespeare Quartos from the 
British Library, the Bodleian Library, the University of Edinburgh Library, and the National Library of Scotland, as well as the 
First Folio from the Folger Library. It includes Library of Congress copies of Poor Richard's Almanack by Benjamin Franklin, and 
other rare editions: a Gutenberg Bible of 1455, Thomas Harvey's book on the circulation of blood, Galileo �s Sidereus Nuncius, the

RHINO is a non-profit literary organization based in Evanston, Illinois, with a central-Illinois presence in 
Normal, Illinois. They are primarily devoted to the publication of RHINO, an annual journal featuring high-quality,
diverse poetry, short/shorts, and translations. They also support a community of writers by presenting readings and 
workshops, and by awarding cash prizes to poets through two annual programs. They are a proud contributor to the 
vitality of Illinois� literary community.<br><br>

The Poetry Forum, Inc. was founded in 1976 as a poetry workshop, and RHINO was started as an outlet for the work 
of members of The Poetry Forum. Since then, it has become a regionally and nationally recognized annual collection 
of literature by new and established writers. RHINO occupies a niche somewhere between academia and the emerging 
Chicago poetry scene � devoted to printing work that tells stories, provokes thought, and pushes the boundaries in 
form and feeling � while connecting with an audience.

ROCKPILE is a collaboration between David Meltzer � poet, musician, essayist, and more � and Michael Rothenberg of 
Big Bridge Press. David and Michael will journey through eight cities in the U.S. to perform poetry and prose, composed 
while on the road, with local musicians and artists in each city. ROCKPILE will serve to educate and preserve as well 
as to create a history of collaboration. It will help to reinforce the tradition of the troubadour of all generations, 
central to the cultural upheaval and identity politics that reawakened poets, artists, musicians, and songwriters in the 
mid-1960s through the 1970s. The project will end with a final multimedia performance in San Francisco.<br><br>

Roseville Arts! (formerly the Roseville Arts Center) is an active community resource. Established 40+ years ago to promote the arts 
in its many formats, Roseville Arts supports local artists and brings artwork from around the world to the area. As a non-profit organization, 
Roseville Arts is entirely funded by memberships, grants, sponsorships, fund raising events, and other donations. 

With the dramatic growth in Placer County, the Roseville Arts Center's board of directors recognized that the center had to change 
significantly to successfully continue its mission. Following the sale of its former facility, the Haman House, the center temporarily 
moved its operations and exhibits to 405 Vernon Street. The Vernon Street facility, a former restaurant and bar turned office space, 
was transformed into the functional 405 Gallery with the generous assistance and dedication of volunteers.

The 405 Gallery has been demolished to make way for a new City of Roseville parking structure. Roseville Arts now occupies the main floor 
in a handsome new arts venue within the structure fronting Vernon Street. 

The new Blue Line Gallery of over 5,000 square feet, showcases the works of regional as well as national artists and feature a 
state-of-the-art gallery complete with flexible exhibition space suitable for small musical performances, lectures, demonstrations, and 
poetry readings. A special children�s gallery will provide a dedicated location for children�s programs, exhibits, and workshops.

THE SACRAMENTO POETRY CENTER: 
Since 1979, the Sacramento Poetry Center has been a major force for literary artists in Northern California. Though 
primarily serving as the literary center for the greater Sacramento metropolitan area, SPC's publications are 
recognized nationally for their quality and literary content and its annual writers' conference has featured some 
of the most important poets of our time, including Pulitzer Prize winners Gary Snyder and Philip Levine, former U.S. 
Poet Laureate Robert Hass, and other poetic luminaries such as Galway Kinnell, Robert Bly, Robert Creely, Diane DiPrima, 
Carolyn Forche, Lucille Clifton, Anne Waldman, Jack Hirschman, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Dorianne Laux, Kim Addonizio, 
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure, Jose Montoya, Robert Creeley, Robert Peters, and many others.<br><br>

Unique among literary centers in that it is not affiliated with a university, the Sacramento Poetry Center, while 
maintaining close ties with the area's universities and colleges, affords associated artists the opportunity to explore 
the medium unrestricted, empowering literary artists to improve their work and performance.<br>

complete and you will then be provided the shipping address where you need to ship your item. Your only expense is paying for 
shipping of the item you're sending. There are no fees to list items or to trade items. Use the post office's Media Mail service 
and you can send almost everything (within the USA) for less than $2.50. In accordance with SwapTree's partnership with Muze, 
your information will not be revealed to third-party vendors or to advertisers, and nothing you provide to SwapTree will been shared 
with other members. Muze doesn't collect your personal information however, they do log your IP address. This is done for statistical 
reasons - they want to know how long members stay on the site, the various sections of the site that are most popular, and what 
pages aren't frequented as much so that they can make changes for a better user experience.

The WordTemple Poetry Series is Sonoma County's first long-term, ongoing poetry reading series.  Founded 
and hosted by poet Katherine Hastings, the series kicked off in February of 2006 with readings by Jane 
Hirshfield and David St. John to a standing-room only audience. Also, the first ten minutes of each 
evening is devoted to a local poet with a good body of work who has not yet published a book.

Yellow Medicine Review: A Journal of Indigenous Literature, Art, & Thought. The title Yellow Medicine Review is 
significant in that it incorporates the name of a river in Southwest Minnesota. The Dakota came together at the 
river to dig the yellow root of a special plant that was used for medicinal purposes, for healing. Such is the spirit 
of Yellow Medicine Review. The journal opens a new pathway for scholarly and creative expression. New paths lead to new places, 
into the territory where emerging voices and visions are beginning to take their places among already established indigenous 
writers, artists and scholars.  They encourage submissions from indigenous perspectives in the area of fiction, poetry, scholarly 
essays, and art.  We define indigenous universally as representative of all pre-colonial peoples.
