from the Black Current Press colophon.....

The Black Current Press publishes books which we hope will help to define and understand contemporary life in the bioregion formed by the circle of ocean currents known as the Kuroshio, the Alaska Current, the California Current, and the North Equatorial Current.  We plan to publish a few titles each year and over the course of several years plan to include fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.  Centered in Southeastern Alaska we tend to favor the Pacific Northwest (which we like to think of as the Northeastern Pacific), Japan, China, Korea, and Hawaii.
