Χρη ευ μάλα πολλων ιστορας φιλοσόφους άνδρας εΐναι. -- Ηερακλιτος.

But if it is not granted to us to fill our fragile and fleeting days with famous deeds, (for the opportunity for this lies in the hands of others), let us all the more devote them to writing, and since our lives are short, let us leave something behind to bear witness that we have lived.

—Pliny the Younger, Letter III.7.

About Me

James Mitchell: San Francisco, CA, United States; James has operated two small presses in San Francisco dedicated to the literary arts. Presently he is the publisher of Ithuriel's Spear, which has plopped forth 24 titles since 2004. In 1969 he started the first gay poetry magazine in San Francisco, and in 1973 he set up Small Press Traffic in the backroom of a bookstore on Castro Street. Remarkably, he made a living for awhile as a musician in the action-packed 1970's, when he was also a founding director of the San Francisco Early Music Society and a music broadcaster on KPFA. He is presently a grad student in medieval history at S.F. State, has been a practicing Soto Zen Buddhist since 1971, and, overcoming a passion for fast motorcycles, has now decided upon his eventual reincarnation as a 1957 Oldsmobile convertible (two-tone, white and red, with sidewalls). He has decided to pass the time until then playing old-timey music on his excellent Martin D-28 guitar. James Mitchell can be reached at plainfeather@gmail.com.
