Via Jamesque Yeary:
I've recently began worklunteering at Portland Oregon's Independent Publishing Resource Center. It's a phenomenal splace where a lot of letters get pressed, letrasets get rubbed onto the page, xeroxes, scans etc.
It is also home to a phenomenal zine library I am beginning to find my way around. You could call it a specialized open to the public library of mostly spineless books. I have found a couple pubs from Xexoxial Endarchy, and Fantagraphics seems to have been sending us everything they put out for some time now. It's pretty varied.
But it could be more varied.
I, for one, would like to see more visual poetry.
If there are interested parties out there, consider sending chapbooks and self publications of any sort to
THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING RESOURCE CENTER
917 SW Oak Street, #218
Portland, OR 97205
That is if you
you know
love libraries.
We are of course talking about donations here as the IPRC is a non-profit and can't purchase things.
But you would be contributing to a killer, unique space.
Thanks for considering this.
yours,
James
