Emily Dickenson, in one of her more memorable quotes, gave her definition of what constitutes great poetry, when she said: "If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?"Well, Ms. Dickenson just described the inaugural offering of Snubnose Press, "Speedloader." It did just that to this reader--took the top of my head off. These were black, dark stories, along the lines of the best of Bukowski, and every single author wrote a masterpiece. This is writing; this is literature.Now... give us more from these writers!
