Santa Rosa Literary Upstart

The Santa Rosa Literary Upstart was begun by rG Hill as a newsletter in 1996. It's main purpose at that time was to promote the Calistoga Field Form in poetry, created in 1990 by Napa poet Jeff Schulz and then Calistoga resident Richard Montillo. This is still one of our major purposes in expanding the SRLU and taking it online. From time to time we hope to republish the newsletter essays, but our primary task at present is to apply some of the lessons from that poetry form to other literary arts, short stories, novels, even creative essays. Finally, recent events have burdened us with an unforeseen responsibility, to assess the political situation from the psychological perspective that this kind of art is rooted in, a Counter Culture perspective certainly, one that believes that the traditional left-right social and political assessment is far from adequate, a perspective dedicated to peace, not so much through treaties and economic development as much as through hard individual inner work on oneself, and what we have discovered is the great joy of doing such work.

The SRLU publishes every two months. We are accepting all kinds of work at present, though we have a preference for untraditional forms, especially those that push the envelope on the kinds of work we have been experimenting with for more than a decade now, work that has a subjective, interior direction. We are especially interested at this time in anything that will promote inner peace and how that peace might be manifested as outer peace. Send query by  email.
