pooka press
pooka (also phooka or puca) a shape-shifting hobgoblin of Celtic folklore, whom some see as akin to Shakespeare’s Puck (AKA Robin Goodfellow). pookas are mischievous, playful creatures, tricksters if you will. The most famous of all pookas is the one that went Hollywood... HARVEY, the bow tie & belt wearing, 7 foot tall, invisible (to most) white rabbit that starred with Jimmy Stewart in the Universal Picture film of the same name. Samain (November 1st) is a special day for pookas. It is said on this day a pooka assumes the shape of a large talking horse, resting in the shade of a certain great tree, & answers the questions of passersby. pooka press, like the pooka, will disappear & reappear at will, change shape, form & location. Angering & creating questions for its readers. It may even at times knock its readers for a loop as a pooka would its rider.
History
pooka press began life in Ottawa Ontario Canada early in 1994, & has/ will publish poetry in various forms; books, chapbooks, broadsides, broadsheets, T-shirts, postcards, posters, etc... as well pooka press is interested in publishing comics, graphic novels, short story collections, screenplays, plays, novels & non fiction travel pieces.
