News from the editors of When Pressed that their site is now up and running at whenpressed.net for all those interested ...

'When Pressed is a tangled web of desires and ideas which resolves at various times into a website and related performance evenings. We solicit and then put together small collections of writing and art within a design that is responsive to the medium of the internet. It is, obviously, a work in progress.

The first issue explores some of the non-traditional media, processes, and interventions that have been used to make poetry - code, sound, installation - along with those themes that have been explored throughout poetry’s many literary traditions. It is a special feature on (and takes its name from) the work of Sydney poet and vocal artist, Amanda Stewart, presenting a selection of her work from the last twenty years.'
