RESOURCES

RESOURCES is a space for (strictly) contemporary discourse upon the issues Blue Bag platforms across our output-sphere (is that atmosphere?).

Here, we seek out very recent endeavors, attempts, failures, and otherwise(s) which document the hybrid juncture that is “poiesis:” NOT, strictly, a making but a hearing of the world which conducts itself as we so-call “aesthetically” while mainlining the social condition by inevitable force of the violent systems we live under. Such is attunement, no?

Initially, RESOURCES did not include poetry or fiction, privileging hybrid “non-fiction” (alt-def: critical prose), but this has (thankfully) changed with the introduction of a curated sequence of poems beginning in March of 2025.

This actively developed space primarily features the work of a variety of artists and thinkers solicited directly by the Press and edited thus in collaboration with the authors. Material is divided into INTERVENTIONS (new engagements that stake into what is needed to move forward or must be understood) and RESPONSES (re-mediations of other materials).

This space is not meant to be such a “breviary” (here current neologism; alt-def: short space), but an expansive conversation. We seek submissions of engaging, aligned materials in conversation with what is present thus far and other Press affairs. Visit our SUBMIT page to learn more about ‘how’ to do this.
