For me, one of the best things to come out of Drexel's Week of Writing during the last week in May, was the chance to meet the head of Splitleaves Press. (We got a chance to chat at Ladder 15 during Philadelphia's first Literary Death Match--organized by Painted Bride Quarterly.) Splitleaves is a new independent press in Philly. It's small, but it's doing good things and publishing cool releases. The truth is, a graphic designer that truly understands printing can take a good collection of poems and make it great. This press understands that. And, this press understands that the future of poetry isn't necessarily at chain bookstores, SP's work is carried at independent bookstores across the city. Bravo to Splitleaves Press.
