Poetry Ink logo


In my spare time I write and perform poetry, and when I bought a computer oh-so-many years ago, I decided to merge my interests with the world of electrons. When I first started, I edited and published various Macintosh-only electronic literary publications. These scribblings were produced under the banner of Poetry Ink Productions (hence the big fancy logo at the top of this page).

From May 1995 to February 1997, I published Poetry Ink, a freely distributed award-winning electronic literary magazine. Poetry Ink contained a lively mix of poetry, short fiction, essays, commentary, reviews, and instructional techniques that was just too good to last.

Originally published first using DocMaker and then eDoc--both Macintosh-only formats--the magazine switched to ASCII format in August, 1996, with back issues converted to ASCII in October, 1996.

Archived here are all the issues of Poetry Ink in ASCII format. These files look best when viewed in a monospaced font such as Courier or Courier New. I no longer have copies of the original DocMaker and eDoc issues, but if you happen to have one or more of them archived, please let me know, as I would love to post them here.

If you are a past contributor to Poetry Ink, please drop me a line and let me know what you are up to, as I'd like to get a list of current links to authors up on this site.

Finally, please be aware that the contact information in these issues is no longer valid and that Poetry Ink is no longer accepting submissions.
