WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS: 2010 AND BEYOND

The Press

Timberline Press to Change Hands at End of 2010

At the end of 2010, Timberline Press, which I founded in 1975 and have operated since then, will come under the direction of Steven Schroeder.  Originally, I announced that I would cease operation of the press entirely, but last year I was approached by Schroeder, who is a significant driving force behind Virtual Artists Collective (VAC) and who was interested in continuing the work of Timberline Press. 

I am delighted that Steve and his daughter Regina, who is a book artist, plan to continue producing well-crafted books of excellent poetry under the Timberline imprint.

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.
