Chiasmus Press, Portland's independent publisher committed to crossing the literary with the visual, brings you our third anthology: Northwest Edge III: The End of Reality, a fiction anthology and film DVD compilation.

Why we make these anthologies: because like you, we know that certain froms of fiction and art = civilian society challenging the state. because shifts in fiction and art are both indexical of social change and contribute accumulatively to social change.

For the first time, Northwest Edge III: The End of Reality features a compilation video and film DVD of northwest filmmakers in an effort to highlight our commitment to crossing the literary with the visual.

Inside Northwest Edge III: The End of Reality language breaks down and re-organizes itself, stories pulse plot open, images get it on with words. Northwest Edge III: The End of Reality was edited by Trevor Dodge, Lidia Yuknavitch, and Andy Mingo.
