WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS: 2008 AND BEYOND

The Press A Perspective on 2007 The first half of 2007 was a hectic but productive time at Timberline Press. The four new books (see the HOME page) represent the culmination of several long projects. Two of the books–Hart’s Operation Supergoose (Timberline’s only novel) and Borenstein’s Night of the Broken Glass and Transformations (a 25 th-anniversary edition that took on a very new life)–were produced by a POD printer. The other two–Noyes’s Alles Kaputt and Dyer’s Oracle of the Turtle–were done by Timberline’s favored letterpress. Indeed, 2007 may be one of the press’s most prolific years because three more publications are scheduled. Walter Bargen’s West of West will become his sixth book published by Timberline. Expect it in September. Larry D. Thomas’s The Fraternity of Oblivion, a poetic look at outlaw bikers and his third book with Timberline, is due in the fall. And William Heyen’s The Devil’s Song should be ready as a Christmas gift book, a fine old tradition which produced such classics as Dickens’s A Christmas Carol and Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw.	Notes on Noyes and Hart Timberline Press Goes to War Timberline Press is particularly pleased to offer its two most recent volumes, Alles Kaputt: Poems of World War II by Stanley Noyes and Operation Supergoose by William Hart. Noyes is distinguished as the author of two novels published by Macmillan and of three volumes of poetry: Faces and Spirits (The Sunstone Press, 1974), Beyond the Mountains (Solo Press, 1979), and The Commander of Dead Leaves (Tooth of Time Press, 1984). His last two books are histories: Los Comanches: The Horse People, 1751-1845 (U of New Mexico Press, 1993) and Comanches in the New West, 1895-1908: Historic Photographs (U of Texas Press, 1999). His chapbook, Annus Mirabilis: A Peripatetic Calendar, was published by Timberline Press in 2003. William Hart offers Timberline a rare chance to publish novel-length fiction, and gives readers an alternative to throwing up their hands in anguish, tuning-in/turning- on/dropping-out, or writing their Congressman over the misguided direction of our leaders. Do you think the war in Iraq is misbegotten and mishandled? Have you given up hope of intelligent decisions from Washington? Are you disgusted with "W's" arrogant denseness? Take action by reading Operation Supergoose and marvel at Hart's on-the-money observations. Be it poetry or fiction, I hope you find these books as interesting to read as they were to design and publish. Keep writing and reading. Clarence Wolfshohl - July 2007

Notes on Noyes and Hart

Timberline Press Goes to War

Timberline Press is particularly pleased to offer its two most recent volumes, Alles Kaputt: Poems of World War II by Stanley Noyes and Operation Supergoose by William Hart.

Noyes is distinguished as the author of two novels published by Macmillan and of three volumes of poetry: Faces and Spirits (The Sunstone Press, 1974), Beyond the Mountains (Solo Press, 1979), and The Commander of Dead Leaves (Tooth of Time Press, 1984).

His chapbook, Annus Mirabilis: A Peripatetic Calendar, was published by Timberline Press in 2003.

William Hart offers Timberline a rare chance to publish novel-length fiction, and gives readers an alternative to throwing up their hands in anguish, tuning-in/turning- on/dropping-out, or writing their Congressman over the misguided direction of our leaders. Do you think the war in Iraq is misbegotten and mishandled? Have you given up hope of intelligent decisions from Washington? Are you disgusted with "W's" arrogant denseness?
