Published in : OW! Site Content, The Naked Opinion

"The sickness of modern poetry is the sickness of isolation from any living audience. There is no healthy literature that does not grow out of naive, folk, and 'primitive' art. It is notable that every art in the twentieth century except poetry has drawn richly from jazz, the movies, advertising, the comic strip, commercial design, and even radio and TV. Poetry is somehow deprived of its contact with contemporary art on the popular and even commercial levels. . . ."

Karl Shapiro, 1960

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
