Free Poetry!


Free Poetry is a project originally conceived on March 14, 2003 under the name "Olympia Free Poetry Movement", which was an idea to give poetry away for free, and also to (hopefully) inspire other people to produce more free art, therefore making their world a (semi) better place. In May, 2003 we started a monthly free poetry 'zine distributed through a mailing list of about 75 people and giving extra copies away whenever we saw fit. The mailing list grew to be around 250 fine, very deserving people with extra copies going to unsuspecting bystanders. Here's what has come out of the project so far; in its original format, before being brutalized by the black and white photocopier.

If you would like to have your name added to the mailing list for Free Poetry, pleace click here and send us your information or e-mail us: ssopress@hotmail.com, or send a letter to SSO Press PO Box 2645 Olympia, Wa. 98507.

New issues come out whenever we can raise enough funds, so donations of stamps or money help keep Free Poetry somewhat more frequent.
