In 1995, a group of wanna-be-somthing mid-20-year-olds in Milwaukee put it all together got busy printing and publishing writing by local authors and art by local artists. The goal was to publish a series of four seasonal anthologies. The first book, Springtime, was printed and published in 1996. It was followed the same year by the second book, Crux 2, in the summer. Things fell apart when our editor, Jen Kulbeck, moved to San Francisco.
