PUBLISHER’S FOREWORD

Greetings, Readers!

Welcome back to Boone’s Dock Review. This, our second full issue, marks some new and interesting changes at BDP. We have kept our mission to preserve the artistic integrity of our artists’ work, and we remain motivated more by ethics and ideologies than income, so our foundation is as strong as ever. As we continue the construction of our company as an artistic home for all who publish with us, we have made some excellent additions.

First off, it is a pleasure to introduce a poetry section to the review. As a literary publication, it is only fitting that we include the work of poets, whose collective role as innovators in the use of language is indispensable. We include, herein, the work of poets who exemplify this tradition of altering language’s limits through both stylistic and thematic representation.

To the credit of our new endeavour, I am pleased to welcome Poetry Editor, Anthony Sovak, Ph.D. to Boone’s Dock Review. Anthony’s expertise as a scholar of American Poetry finds a welcome home here at Boone’s Dock Press, and we are equally pleased that he possesses a strong poetic style to complement his scholarship, as is evident on the following pages.

We have added to the Boone’s Dock Press catalog, as well. Recent publications of note include a collection of poems, True Stories From the Future, by Anatoly Molotkov, whose experimental prose “My Now” appears in this issue, and The Way of The Trumpet, the world’s first haiku novel (!), by Peter Josyph, a true literary innovator. It is, again, with great pleasure, that I welcome these two literary artists of prodigious talent to Boone’s Dock Press.

Now, I shall let you commence your experience with Boone’s Dock Review – Enjoy!

Always with my Appreciation and Respect,

Kempton Boone Van Hoff, Publisher
