"The center houses a bookstore with over 25,000 small press titles otherwise unavailable in our area. Because we are nonprofit, our inventory decisions aren't dictated entirely by commercialism. As booksellers and as presenters of art and literature, we want people to know that there is more than what you see at your chain book store, more than wjat you are taught in school, more than what is reviewed in the papers. We hope to act as a catalyst, putting readers together with small press literature. Come browse our selection of poetry, chapbooks, fine print materials, broadsides, and multicultural literature.

Mayumi Oda Luscious in all the ways :: "Let Wisdom Ride the Swan" Joan Weissman Studio Gorgeous custom rugs :: "global aesthetic inspired by nature as well as pure abstraction" Henri Matisse Good reproductions Clement Greenberg This site is a stunning find (no matter what you think of Mr. Greenberg's opinions) with a number of his classic essays, various tidbits, AND a facscimile of his out of print book on Matisse. One of those little pocket books on a famous artist, it nevertheless championed Henri with a fresh voice. "Matisse is art that speaks for itself through its 'mechanics', it's 'form' and through the feeling which that 'form' makes manifest. It's not by far the first to do so and to transcend the illustrated subject by doing so. (All good painting and sculpture does that to some extent). But just as Matisse rejected verbal rhetoric so he kept every last trace of illustrational rhetoric out of his art. He may have been the first painter in our tradition to do that in a really radical way. This doesn't make his art better than a Giotto's or Caravaggio's or Goya's or David's, not necessarily. But it does make it a salutory example for all those people who find it hard, in any medium, to mean what they say."
