VOICES FROM THE FIRE #1

Dumpster Fire Press is proud to announce the first release for National Poetry Month…

VOICES FROM THE FIRE volume 1….

Spotlighting voices heard, seldom heard or never heard at all. First featured on the VOICES FROM THE FIRE series , we’ve got poets , writers and artist spanning from here, there and everywhere in-between…

of course the color version is a bit expensive and there is an e-book format and a black and white version available at a lower cost.

Links are provided on bottom of the page for that.

I need to give credit where credit is due though: a colossal thanks to Dillinger and R. Keith for all the visual work they’ve contributed and to James Maj for generosity via his entrancing paintings.

Also Beau Blue, thanks for the sweet logo

So, here’s some cool news regarding what happens to VOICES FROM THE FIRE in the future…to keep costs down I’d like to do 90-100 pages, I still love color and will always adore black and white as an alternative but DFP has never been about alienation and I don’t want cost preventing people from reading or at least putting something cool on top of their coffee table.

However, not sure how it goes with other anthologies as that is a beast of its own nature.

But future volumes will be cheaper and hopefully more frequent…

Also started work on Volume 2 in which an entire section will be dedicated to National Poetry Month, so maybe get excited for that as the number of our global contributor’s has expanded.

There will also be a table of contents, however bios will be absent as all voices are equal.

But like I told a lady at a department store I worked at who was upset at the lack of matching shades of gray towels available via immediate inventory

“Well ma’am…sometimes you just have to settle.” (don’t ever say that to anyone you’re dating)

In the meantime, enjoy settling…seeing as how we’re not dating

(DON’T DATE ME)
