Kell Robertson | Iniquity Press | Three in One

In memory of Ben Hiatt. I did write you some stuff about Ben Hiatt didn’t? He was the first guy who really believed in my poetry. Got me started on my magazine…DESPERADO. Anyway man, give him credit for that. Maybe I should dedicate it to all the folks who gave me a shot with my writing. There have been damn few over the years. All the “fugitive” publications. And I’m honored to have Kryss doing the cover. Ride Easy. — Kell Robertson, November 20, 2008 Continue reading

Ken Greenley | Uncle Sam’s Portrait | Iniquity Press

Ken Greenley is a writer living and working in Denver, Colorado. The number of places he’s lived is only exceeded by the number of Jobs he’s had.

His work has appeared in numerous small press publications, such as Big Hammer, Philadelphia Poets, and The Bukowski Hangover Project. Continue reading

Jen Dunford | Shadow Of Book | Iniquity Press

I came to know Jen Dunford in 1996 while she was a freshman in high shool. At the time I was acting as the poetry editor of the now defunct 24/7 Art Zine. Jen had submitted some poems for consideration. I had never received a submission from anyone that young, and was hesitant at first to include her in a publication not meant for the living room coffee table. I worried what her parents would think. I gave in after deciding that if someone that young took the time to pick up the zine (distributed for free around town), read it and submit work of their own, then that someone wasn’t going to leave it hanging around for their parents to read in the first place. Plus, she stated in her cover letter that she was a fan of William Burroughs. That alone provided me with the final stamp of approval. — Dave Church Continue reading
