Editor's Notes: PP Press

On the Remembrance Day of 2013, exactly one year
 after the establishment of Poetry Pacific,

we launched our official (temporary) site for our publishing house called PP Press. 

Here is our logo as well as the web address:

A Seashell in the Centuries by the internationally recognized Macedonian poet
Risto Lazarov, which is available at http://www.lulu.com/shop/risto-lazarov/a-seashell-
anchored-in-the-centuries/paperback/product-21402829.html

here is our open call for manuscript submissions
