Kevin Killian is the author of ARCTIC SUMMER, ARGENTO SERIES, LITTLE
MEN, BEDROOMS HAVE WINDOWS, I CRY LIKE A BABY, SHY and other
works of poetry and prose. 35 of his plays have been presented by San Francisco's
Poets Theater over the past twenty years. With Dodie Bellamy he has edited
130+ issues of MIRAGE #4/PERIOD(ical), and for many years he worked behind
the scenes at Small Press Traffic, the San Francisco literary arts center.
His latest book (from Hooke Press) is SELECTED AMAZON REVIEWS, edited by

Brent Cunningham. In the future: a new book of poetry called ACTION KYLIE and an

edition, with Peter Gizzi, of Jack Spicer's COLLECTED POEMS.

Lauren Shufran lives near here. She is currently working on her MA and MFA at

San Francisco State, and celebrating the release of her book BURROW from

Oakland's Hooke Press. From 2001 to 2003 she collected tolls on the Peace Bridge

between bomb threats. Now she farms chiefly for pleasure rather than income.

HOOKE PRESS was founded in late 2005 by Neil Alger and Brent Cunningham.
It was named for Robert Hooke, a 17th century British scientist and the first Curator
of Experiments at the Royal Society. Inspired by Hooke's experiments and
observations across an astonishing number of disciplines, Hooke Press seeks to
publish small-run books of poetry, criticism, theory, writing and ephemera that share
his ecumenical spirit, though not necessarily his famously sullen temperament.
