My name is Paul Werner. In 1973 I founded the Orange Press while a member of an anarchist print shop called Come! Unity Press. The idea was, and still is, to do everything myself: writing, printing, distributing. Nothing’s changed. In 1999 I started WOID. A journal of visual language, along the same principles.

Of course you’re welcome to rummage around this site, but if you want to be notified of new posts you should sign up as a subscriber. All subscribers receive mini-mails, more experimental and ephemeral notes and announcements as well as the longer articles and reviews. In addition, if you decide to become a paid subscriber you will have access to files of works in progress, such as Carmina Banana, my ongoing collection of poems, to the WOID archives, and, on request, to available publications from the Orange Press. You’re welcome to ask to be comped, of course: from each according to his/her/their ability etc.
