Under a Warm Green Linden, launched in 2008, is both a forum on the technical and ineffable qualities of the art of poetry and a biannual digital poetry journal. Reviews and interviews with established and emerging poets are intended to deepen, illuminate, and complicate an understanding of their work; and excellent poetry of all subjects and styles by a diversity of authors illustrates our conviction that poetry encourages an engagement with our deepest truths, challenges, fears, and joys. Each issue is accompanied by a selection of broadsides signed by the authors. The title of the press alludes to an image from Pier Paolo Pasolini’s "The Day of My Death," chosen for its balancing the terrors of being with the promise of renewal. Green Mission: There are currently three trillion trees on the planet, but prior to human industrialization there were ten trillion. We feel an obligation to help restore the bounty from which we have drawn. A portion of all proceeds will be used to this purpose. Recent and current projects we support are the Arbor Day Foundation's reintroduction of hardwood diversity into state forests in Iowa, where fecund land once rich with woods and prairies is now dominated by corn and soy production, and the National Forest Foundation's replanting of the Coconino National Forest, which was devastated by fire in 2010.
