pooka press
pooka (also phooka or puca) a shape-shifting
hobgoblin of Celtic folklore, whom some see as akin
to Shakespeare’s Puck (AKA Robin Goodfellow). pookas
are mischievous, playful creatures, tricksters if
you will. The most famous of all pookas is the one
that went Hollywood... HARVEY, the bow tie & belt
wearing, 7 foot tall, invisible (to most) white rabbit
that starred with Jimmy Stewart in the Universal
Picture film of the same name.
Samain (November 1st) is a special day for pookas. It
is said on this day a pooka assumes the
shape of a large talking horse, resting in the shade
of a certain great tree, & answers the questions of
passersby.
pooka press, like the pooka, will disappear &
reappear at will, change shape, form & location.
Angering & creating questions for its readers. It may
even at times knock its readers for a loop as a pooka
would its rider.
History
pooka press began life in Ottawa Ontario Canada early
in 1994, & has/ will publish poetry in various forms;
chapbooks, broadsides, broadsheets,
T-shirts, postcards, posters, etc... as well pooka
press is interested in future publishing of comics,
graphic novels, short story collections, screenplays,
plays, novels & non fiction travel pieces... when we
grow enough to afford such publishing ventures.
