Change is a coming!
On behalf of the Lummox Press, I want to thank all the poets and artists who contributed to this year’s trifecta of literary accomplishments: The 9th annual Lummox Anthology, Last Call,Chinaski! and the Angela Consolo Mankiewicz poetry Contest… The diversity and talent displayed by you all has made me very proud to be a part of this community! — RD Armstrong
LUMMOX 9 SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED!
I was hoping to have the book available by Bukowski’s birthday, Aug. 16, 2020. But with the VIRUS roaming the streets, that won’t be possible. Stay tuned.
LAST CALL Chinaski – anthology of poems, stories, recollections, art and essays by poets whose style has been influenced by the Buk.
