Welcome to First Intensity Press, where we will be announcing forthcoming F.I. books, publishing reviews of books of interest to poetry and new literature readers, commentary and, soon, a brief online version of FIRST INTENSITY — a magazine of new writing — print editions of which, sadly, ended in 2008. Please feel free to send your thoughts and ideas relative to this press, this blog or to new poetry and contemporary "fringe" fiction in general. Onward!
