In the wake of Federal Disaster #1649, a flood along the Upper Delaware River, I founded the press STOCKPORT FLATS to showcase writers whose work builds community. Stockport Flat’s poetry series, CONFLUENCE, seeks such convergence by publishing writers from divergent communities. Hydrologically, a confluence occurs when two or more streams merge or when non-riverine bodies of water meet. Here, you will find poets from the Upper Delaware River Basin alongside poets from Pacific Coast estuaries. Traditional bards from the Great Lakes find a home beside experimentalists from the Rio Grande.
