Art Inspires Change

Word Walker Press invites you to read its premiere release, a chaos of angels, an anthology of poems featuring works on the topic of survival as a spirit in a biochemically minded culture.

Founded in 2006, Word Walker Press will publish poetry books from writers that are a motivating source of change in our culture. They will be attractively produced, promoted individually, and well marketed. Though we hope and expect that our books will gain their share of book club adoptions and mass paperback sales, it is their quality and strength of social commentary that will be our foremost consideration. We believe that it is still possible to publish worthy poetry that will also be financially profitable for author, publisher, and bookseller. While we presently rely on our print on demand service to physically produce books for Word Walker, we hope to expand toward a full facility operation. Our books are currently marketed through a global publishing system which relies on Ingrams, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders and other on-line booksellers. Word Walker is a grass roots publisher, making its way toward a bookstore near you. 

"There is No Gene for the Human Spirit"

A clever tag from the 1997 film Gattaca is a statement which each of us knows inherently to be true. If you’ve read the startling portrayal of a utopian society gone wrong in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932), you are acquainted with the author’s prophetic predictions of a world addicted to chemically driven happiness. In a culture where biochemistry has become its own religion, spirituality is being replaced by serotonin manipulation and mood enhancers.

These works delve into the very nature of what ails us and why a pill for spiritual pain just might not be the answer.  [more]
