"These days, anyone with a personal computer and a pipe dream fancies him- or herself a writer. So much so that if you have an interest in separating the extraordinary from the mediocre, you're faced with a choice: spend the rest of your days sifting through piles of self-published and often self-aggrandizing dribble, hoping to find the next Allen Ginsberg (although we can only imagine his blog) - or let Logan Ryan Smith do the dirty work for you. The San Francisco writer was the publisher of Small Town Press, an irreverent, eclectic, and daring vehicle for the disembodied poets of our time. And though Smith recently pulled the plug on the Small Town operation, he's using his penchant for finding the best underrepresented writing talents around in the service of a new chapbook series, Transmission Press. Carrying the torch of dissident publishers from San Francisco's literary heyday, Smith understands the worth of the word and is working like crazy to make exceptional literature accessible.

Yeah, I read that on my way to work, and thinking I was still asleep, thought it was a dream. It's nice to see it confirmed.
