Donate to BlazeVOX [books]
 We are still recovering from our recent crisis and working towards being better than ever. Due to the recent economic upheaval, most of our funding sources dried up. But this does not mean we plan to stop publishing.
We are asking you to help fund the production of your book. Over $2000 goes into the production of a book with BlazeVOX and we are hoping you will donate $250 to the press to help meet the costs of our budgeted year.
If you cannot help, no worries! This is only a temporary step to ensure our strong future. This donation will go directly towards the purchase of our next block of ISBN numbers, and once that is established we will be back to our normal operations. At that point we will consider your manuscript with great interest. No joke, not participating in this will not mean we will not publish your work in the future! We worked very hard to get out of a hole and now we are at a zero mark and we need to get a bit further into the black to be back up to normal.
This donation would give you a book with BlazeVOX [books], this includes ISBN, barcode, full color cover, sales at SPD and Amazon.com; a BlazeVOX [books] webpage and listing catalog. You can make your donation on the PayPal button below.
Best, Geoffrey

In every new age there comes a new method. Today the cyber culture sits on the brim of explosion. Our mission, after seven years is still very hard to pin down. We represent neither a group of writers nor one mode of writing. We enjoy innovative works of literature in what ever format that it chooses to find itself. We wish to promote new style, emerging voices and provide an outlet for these artists to express their artistic visions. This sounds good, and in turn we will try to live up to these standards and will do whatever is humanly possible. Please forgive us in advance for our flaws. |

We have chosen Ezra Pound as our Editor-in-Chief and it is by his methods we strive to keep things new. It is our century and we look to this, as Creeley once noted, what else is one to do, make it old ? We are proud to present fine pieces of textual art in economically feasible formats. |

So we are here and after five years we have seen many journals come and go, blogs come up from groundbreaking listservs, good friends die and good friends experience births … war, injustice and seemingly limitless stupidity come into power and now simmering softly as Duck Soup. We have seen many things, good and bad, and I am sure things will get worse before they get better. Our poetic voices are irrelevant in today's political arena. So with that, we shall practice our poetry in the time that we have. Even through the darkest of times, the best minds blaze forward! |

BlazeVOX Books was founded shortly after BlazeVOX magazine in 2004, in order to offer collections to authors involved with the magazine. The press geared up substantially with a shift to print-on-demand publishing for most titles in 2003. In 2004 we published 18 new titles, and 24 in 2005 (including two magazine issues in book format). A further 24 titles – in addition to BlazeVOX magazine – will appear during 2008 and some 10-15 in 2009.
