In Support of Publishing Genius

Publishing Genius rocks. Helmed by poet Adam Robinson, small press PG has put out some great titles over the years including Light Boxes and A Jello Horse among others.

Now, on HTMLGIANT, Robinson reflects on pumping 20K of cash flow into the press and being $6,000 in the hole. Why does he continue “publishing stories that are only read by other people who want to publish stories”? Robinson comes to an answer that’s inspiring, moving and one of those awesome single clap moments all at once. Represent and read it.
