HIGH WATERMARK SALO[O]N Series pairs writers and artists from the Upper Delaware River and beyond for a performance/exhibition series. Each gala is documented in a literary chapbook with full color plates.

WITNESS POST Series features works by those who are dedicated stewards of sustainability. The geological term, witness post, refers to a signpost “placed on a claim line when it cannot be placed in the corner of a claim because of water or difficult terrain.” Our culture makes reclamation and sustainable land practices extraordinarily difficult. The writers and artists in this series bear witness to this complex task; their claims help us work toward awareness and action.

MEANDER SCAR Series features wordsmiths who carve new pathways. The geological term, flood meander scar, refers to a river’s “experimentation” as high water forges new flow patterns. Post-flood, the mainstream may never frequent these pathways; however, the record of such possibilities intensifies our awareness of how terrain changes. Meander conjures whimsy; scar suggests both injury and healing. Let’s examine forms that enact such fullness.

WAVEFRONT Series features visual artists who lure others into their wake. The geological term, wavefront, refers to a surface of a seismic disturbance. Stone shifts. Splash. Visual record. Light is sent out in all directions. Artists in this series give us direction by pointing to the edges of beauty

 
 
Stockport Flats is a flood plain on the Pennsylvania side of the Upper Delaware River. In the muddy mop-up after Federal Disaster #1649, the worst of three floods, poet Lori Anderson Moseman and producer Tom Moseman created the press, Stockport Flats, to celebrate writers and artists whose creative buoyancy builds community.
