The website of my mentor. Alan Morrison is a prolific, and exceptional poet.Indigo Dreams (publishing)
This site is run by editors: Dawn Bauling and Ronnie Goodyer – both poets and writers, and more importantly passionate, and very nice, people.Quoted directly from the site:
"Indigo Dreams is a specialist poetry and prose publisher ... We publish three poetry and prose magazines, anthologies, collections and run annual poetry competitions.
Reach Poetry is a monthly magazine now in its 11th year. It features new and established small press poets, a monthly cash prize for the top 3 poets voted for by the readers, many in-house competitions and anthologies and a popular letters section to exchange news, views and votes.
The Dawntreader specialises in myth and legend, landscape and nature. It welcomes prose and articles as well as poetry and is published quarterly. The Dawntreader has gained excellent reviews and has established a firm following.
Sarasvati offers the opportunity to showcase your poetry or prose over 3 pages. It is truly international and credits any relevant book information to assist sales."
The Recusant
The webzine of poet and playwright Alan Morrison. The Recusant is rapidly gaining popularity and has already, in its short life, received a high number of visitors.Alan Morrison (2011) describes The Recusant as ... "an international literary webzine which specialises in distinctive poetry, prose and polemic written on its own terms and without regard to current aesthetic orthodoxies, with an equal focus on 'subject' as on style. Being an ethically democratic socialist outlet, the Recusant is particularly interested in writing with a strong social or political dimension, or which is establishment-sceptic - but this is by no means its only remit, and all kinds of subjects and styles are considered.
Since it was established in late 2007, the Recusant has attracted over half a million visitors, including a significantly large and loyal regular readership and contributing base covering over 20 countries in four continents. The Recusant has published the work of around 200 individual poets and writers since its inception, and although its editorial policy is egalitarian - i.e. submissions are judged purely on perceived merit and stylistic suitability and not on the 'name' attached to them - and its primary mission, to provide a platform for undiscovered or under-published talent, it counts among its contributors some well-established poets and writers such as R.A. Allen, Sebastian Barker, Alan Britt, Adrian Brown, Ken Champion, Andy Croft, Prakash Kona, Thomas Ország-Land, Angela Readman and Angela Topping.
In keeping with its ethos to expose lesser known but equally deserving talent, the Recusant launched its imprint Caparison in 2009, which has so far published ebook collections of poets Peter Branson, Kevin Saving, Sally Richards and an exclusive posthumous publication of the Complete Poems of the late and little known Howard Mingham (d.1984).
Caparison also produced the controversial protest anthology Emergency Verse - Poetry in Defence of the Welfare State as a limited edition print run of 200, launched at the Poetry Library in January 2011."
