This question was asked of ChatGPT.

Will small literary presses survive?
Small literary presses must specialize in specific genres, literary styles, and niche markets. They cater to readers who seek unique and unconventional voices, literary experimentation, and diverse perspectives. This specialization allows them to cultivate a dedicated audience and maintain a distinct identity.

We are saddened by the news of the death of Manuel Tovar, yesterday, a long-time supporter and contributor to Snake Nation Press. We worked with Manuel earlier this year to publish his final two books of poetry, here is one of his poems from For You.

Autumn Leaf

Blown to the edge
of my roof
by wintry winds
I saw a golden-reddish
leaf
with tints of brown
and dressed for the season,
suddenly she’s blown again
to the ground
almost flying like a bird
to be one
with the earth
and live again.

A large potion of his last books were written in Spanish. Here is one more.

Diciembre

Llegaste diciembre
con tus ráfagas de vientos
envueltos en recuerdos
de pasados días
arrasando las horas
como si fueran hojas muertas,
los fríos en las calles
y el caminar a solas
ésta vida
mientras los helados aires
aullan su dolor de lobos
enseñando las costillas
de días agotados
arrastrados por el viento
y el inevitable
paso
de los Tiempos.
