Quicksilver, Quartermoon Press, & The Lithic Review

In the 1990s and early 2000s, we published small-press poetry: literary journals, broadsides, and a poetry chapbook.

Here’s a look at our publishing history. All titles are edited by Denise Enck.

2000-present: Empty Mirror

In June 2000, we launched Empty Mirror, and shortly thereafter decided to concentrate our efforts on digital publishing.

[Note: In 2001, after gaining experience with Empty Mirror and her own personal website, Denise launched Quanta Webdesign, where she builds websites for writers, artists and other creative people. Her portfolio includes a number of poetry and Beat-related websites.]
