Defines the CUTTING EDGE of our

literary culture.  An encouraging sign in a world that likes to see itself as 'post literate.'  Technical ACHIEVEMENTS that defy belief.

the los angeles reader

 

STRIKING, visually elaborate, multi-themed. Focused, libertarian, intense, gorgeous,… The writing is absolutely uncompromising. … brooding subtleties and social themes--work we associate with PROFOUND SOCIAL CHANGE; defining the perceptions wherein art is forced to live & endure.”

kcrw-fm, los angeles

 

"A style REBEL produced to an almost

 tropical EXTRAVAGANCE.”

THE VILLAGE VOICE

 

GROUND-BREAKING fiction, high drama, RADICAL poetry, exposés on social oppression and corruption, it’s all there in a depth that enhances total authorial vision. An important addition to the literary dialogue of our time.”

the bloomsbury review

 

"Intricately conceived & designed . . . An impressive

 array of work ranging from the safely introspective

to the dangerously ON-THE-EDGE. . . .

Howling Dog Press's single-handed,

against-all-odds achievements

constitute a lavish THUMB-NOSING at greed,

hypocrisy, & conventional publishing. . . ."

the kansas city star

 

"The concepts are UNIQUE, the execution painstaking, gathering HIGH PRAISE from coast-to-coast, Howling Dog Press combines poetry, prose, art, photography, calligraphy, typography & graphic design in an

UNEXPECTED & STRIKING manner . . . ."

The writing, like the art, is all first rate--THE DEFINITIVE WORK of an era of alternative thinking, composition, visual art & publishing. . . ."

Cutting edge works, perfectly realized.”

small press magazine

 

Howling Dog Press’s literary style and the visual beauty of their books is UNEQUALED.  [They present] international, national, and emerging literary artists with a single focus on the corruption and disinheritance of today’s world.”

terra nova news

 

Howling Dog Press sets the standard for tough writing in ROLLS ROYCE-style productions. The scope has no precedent. The writing carries out the vision, succeeding on many levels.  Howling Dog Press is an ORGASM of images and embodies that same fire.”
