Wildflowers Seeks Submissions: Small Press Revolution

This is an annual anthology published by my small press, Shivastan, printed on handmade paper in Kathmandu Nepal--which has included work by some of America's best poets: Ferlinghetti, Anne Waldman, Peter Lamborn Wilson, Ed Sanders, Janine Pommy Vega, Andy Clausen, John Giorno, Diane di Prima, etc. This year's theme is actually "small press revolution!".
