We would like all of you, alive or inconsiderate,
to know that Magic Helicopter Press plans to do the following:
•
Release books
• And e-books & chapbooks
•
Organize literary tours
• Set up online workshops
•
Offer multimedia poetry: videos and games
•
Employ gimmickry whenever possible
We are focused on publishing across
platforms, mediums and "the universe." Our paper books are collectible
art items, not unlike Dale Earnhardt commemorative plates. Our e-books are not
paper books melted onto the screen but books aware of their digital space.
We also publish experimental multimedia projects: poetry
videos and poetry video games. But we call them all books.
We are literature with
feet—for open mics and reading tours—and fingers—for online workshops
and collaborative projects. But we call it all live.
We are literature
with a passiflora caerulea for a rotor. We land on your head.
