I've gotten very skilled (or at least familiar) with a razor/carpet knife. It seems I am now the book boxer, which is fine with me. I have the privledge of tenderly placing books in a box or padded folder, ensuring their snugness, comfort and coziness and sealing them off from the outside world. They must be transported in safety, if not in style. I'm cutting cardboard with the razor, FYI.
So, it kind of turns out that Kore does a LOT more than publish books. The creative vision is leaning toward literary activism and projects and programs and such for the community. I don't even get to read submissions! There are volunteer readers for that. But, it is still the environment that I get to experience, so you won't hear me complaining. Lisa (Boss-Queen#1) asked me what my project was and offered to get me a contact or two in a big New York House! I was surprised and delighted. One of my fellows also was an intern in New York for the nonfiction publisher McGraw-Hill, so I'm pumping her for information as well.
I began registering to vote.

What kind of literary activism do they do? I can't say that I totally know what that term even means - sounds cool, though!
whatever they want it to mean. Making "safe spaces" for writers regardless of the usual things that end in -ist (bad). Or being Activists through literary means: poems, books, short stories etc
