Poet In Residence Paroichia Press:

Soon to be author, has been poet, and previous flinger of paint. S. Preston Chase is the author of 'Predicated Upon Sacrifice,' the story of his time as a young man in the early 1970's in the Mormon church. He is also the author of many collections of unpublished poetry and worked through an 'art therapy' phase covering many canvases with little dots of paint. He is the originator and co-founder of both the 'Earth Native Environmental Witness Campaign,' 1995, and 'The Anonymous Poets Association,' (aka 'Some Local Poets), also 1995. He (well, I) am also the 'proprietor' of 'Paroichia Press,' essentially the publishing house of my own work, but incorporating the once and future concept of 'Auld Lang Zine,' an online zine of favorite poems of both personal friends in this life and those I would like to consider friends, in this life and others.
