Six Gallery Press and its publishing literary all-star environs...
Since its quiet debut in 2000, Six Gallery Press has made its milieu one of guts, grit and gasmasks, daring to publish those private thinkers and writers of outside thought who have laughed at gravity in order to produce the razor's edge of literary fiction and poetry. Now, as an obstreporous collective of maniacal dirge-writers, vitriolic seers, differend-poets, anti-pontificating aphorism craftspeople, and noological battalion scribblers of brazen text, Six Gallery Press likens itself to those other cavalier and unapologetic publishing-machines like Fugue State Press , Soft Skull Press , Semiotext(e) , Howling Dog Press , and other writerly nocturnalia bored to shreds with the mundane and banal bestseller dreck that amuses the simian throng that goes to bed every night at 11 within the cloisters of "art" and "literature" that will not clash with the soft, homogeneous pastel-hued decor of gibbering bourgeois life.
On a phantom budget and a will, we have endeavoured to challenge the borders of literature with words big and small. As Deleuze, the patron anti-saint of difference, writes, one can use a brick to make a courthouse or throw it through a window. Six Gallery Press has over thirty such bricks, and courthouses only lead to boring architecture.
We like polemic. We like experiment. We yawn at plot-based adventures and formula-writing. We become infuriated beyond all pacifying measures when literature becomes debased by the master counterfeiters of literary innovation. We love writing that hurtles like a screeching comet across our eyes and cracks the horizon of expectation.
Our authors are intrepid producers of difference, and should you rally to the white plumes of their words, you shall always find them on the path of a new kind of victory, one that announces the much needed people to come.
Nothing but reticence prevents you from buying our books or supporting the cause. Our writers have cast their nets wide, and with spear and trawl they have discovered a new reason to rejoice.
Above all, in terms of literary productions, one must not be complicit with the rehash and the old hat... One must constantly refresh one's eyesight on the matter, and seek new perspectives.
What are we doing on the Internet?
