Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Poem from the Greek poíēma, meaning a thing made. Poet defined in ancient terms as the maker of things. See William Carlos William’s “little machines,” among others. Seer, another kind of engineer, conditioned by material and structural realities, both working within and pushing against the constraints of medium to power radically reimagined futures. Language as a lever, a wedge, or a screw, an elemental human instrument of magic modifying motion and force to perform the most difficult of labors, love—itself a simple machine. A letterpress poetry magazine, Simple Machines is produced with the generous support of, and in collaboration with Michigan Technological University, the Copper Country Community Arts Center’s Letterpress Studio, and poets and poetry lovers like you.
