Storm Cycle 2013: The Best of Kind of a Hurricane Press (480 pages) is a compilation of the editors’ favorite pieces from the six 2013 online journals as well as our seven 2013 print anthologies.  A tireless search for poetic talent proved exceptionally fruitful, and the selection process for this anthology was brutal.

Something's Brewing is Now Available!

In creating the first anthology of 2014, Kind of a Hurricane Press asked our authors to drink in the inspirational aroma of coffee.  As we suspected, this anything-but-common drink infused itself into all aspects of our writers’ lives, and they were more than happy to share a few cups of caffeinated contemplation with our readers.  So take a moment, grab your own cup, sit back, relax, and toast to our ode to everyone’s favorite beverage.
