Welcome
great weather for MEDIA is a new independent press based in New York City.
Coming this summer…
The Understanding between Foxes and Light
Our focus is on innovative, quality poetry and prose from fearless writers everywhere in the world. The first anthology, It’s Animal but Merciful, is available now. Our next anthology, The Understanding between Foxes and Light, will be published summer 2013 and we shall shortly be announcing our first single poet collection.
It’s Animal but Merciful features fifty-five poets and fiction writers across the United States, plus Botswana, the Philippines, Denmark, and Canada. This is world writing with a New York flair—no nonsense, no claptrap, ready to spit in your eye or call you lover in a cyberminute. There’s brutality, glamour, danger, and glitz (but an unexpected tenderness too).

”An ambitious work, and a risky one, It’s Animal but Merciful finds common ground for a diverse group of poets in excellent craft and fearless voices…Read this book. Stick with it to the end. You will not be disappointed. You will be dazzled.” - Emilia Fuentes Grant, The Pedestal Magazine
“It’s Animal but Merciful draws the reader into a page-turning set of accessible, provocative poems and short stories…International poets add a detectable international flavor to It’s Animal, which is also national in its American scope.” - David St.-Lascaux, Interrupting Infinity
