I spent these past two days in Olympia, Washington on the Evergreen State College campus for PRESS: a cross-cultural literary conference. Their theme this year was “Activism and the Avant Garde” and it seemed like just the kind of thing I could appreciate. I did. After a long and rather unproductive conversation about some perceived injustice on Internet forums, it was wonderful to attend a conference with other writers and editors talking about things that actually matter.
