Genii in the Heartland
/Hekate IS fulfilling its mission statement: To represent authentic artists and writers.
I am so proud of Michael D. Davis, this kid from Iowa who is NOT afraid to do his thing. We were honored to be part of his early journey as author and cartoonist. Big things ahead. THAT’S the point. He’s publishing his own books now. I love each one. And they get better and better. Check out his Dead Peach Press PO Box 408 Toledo, IA 52342.
He’s not the only one. Hekate is a zoo of “genii,” of all ages, sizes, beliefs, all of them ornery. We are making our way down the queue this summer:
We are doing Channie Greenberg’s illustrated book of poetry. Exquisite and חכם מאוד.
We’ll then come out the worm hole and nether world water board you with Robert Masterson’s literary dungeon master collection.
Then Cindy Rosmus. Her collaboration with Keith Walker is ALREADY A CLASSIC before publication. I’m dead serious.
Ken Crist and Jeff Iwanski have birthed an another KNOCKOUT. I am SO excited. Two American greats. Both unassuming and modest, both fucking brilliant in their respective corners.
And Hekate’s poet laureate Alex Salinas, a precision lyricist already with so much more to come. Honored to be part of THIS young fella’s early journey. Love whenever we have corresponded.
