Five Pieces
Curated by Expat Press (Manuel Marrero & Arturo Herman Medrano)
At Expat Press we are committed to presenting works of madness and heart, vision and imagination, and preserving an intimate dynamic between readers and content creators. We are stateless, agendaless and our allegiance is strictly to the written word. We are an ad hoc art gang, a pleasure community, and a Spartan space. We come together and apart.
We believe in striking matches while the mood is hot, and encourage writers of all ilks to submit and expect a prompt response. There is no schedule, no expectations, and the engine is spontaneity.
These are five of our favorite pieces we've published by writers who are featured on Neutral Space
Much Like a Cat
Dustbowl: a seven-poem series
Pink Valentine Highways
Baby Head Baseball
A Brief History of El Salvador Circa 1981
About Mixtapes
These mixtapes are a way for the Neutral Spaces community to read and share each others writing.
The idea is to go through the site and select 5 pieces from 5 authors.
For Neutral Spaces authors, these get collected and you are given a space to write about your mini-collection.
On the page, the curator and the 5 selected authors have their website linked, together with the 5 external links for the chosen work.
If you run a journal, I would love to spotlight your site with 5 pieces, you can use the introduction to let people know what you're trying to do with your site.
If you want to put together a mixtape, e-mail me.
