In the spring of 2004, Scott Wiggerman and I founded Dos Gatos Press, a nonprofit dedicated to poets and poetry, especially in Texas, New Mexico, and the Southwest. We have published two volumes of Wingbeats: Exercises and Practice in Poetry, five anthologies in a series titled Poetry of the Southwestern United States, four collections by individual poets, and ten editions of the Texas Poetry Calendar.
The work we do appeals to the writer in me and the teacher in me. Numerous poetry writing workshops have grown out of the Wingbeats volumes. Though at this stage of my life I think of myself primarily as a writer, I enjoy the work Scott and I do as publishers. Both of us are gratified, too, by the amazing network of fellow poets we have come to know.
