Twenty Years of Publishing
Snake~Nation~Press published the first issue of the Snake~Nation~Review in the Fall of 1989. Since the first issue, twenty-two more have been published, giving a voice to many new and established writers. Allan Peterson said it best with his poem from that first issue.
Teleology
At no matter what age
the snake is unwrinkled.
It does not go grey
or death drop out of its head.
It renews its diamonds.
Queen-of-Worlds.
It can be beautiful script
and write sleek in the grass
til the last minute.
Two choices are irreversibile:
suicide and the full body tattoo.
Everything else is forgiving.
Everything else is prepared for you.
The Snake continues the tradition and has expanded to publish a variety of poetry, fiction and non-fiction works. These include the Georgia Writers Series, the art of Wilby Coleman and a new non-fiction compendium of the social sciences by Michael Gary Meachem. As an independent press we will continue to expand our expression of literary excellence.
