Hermeneutic Chaos Press A project of Hermeneutic Chaos Journal (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (March 2023). We provide the following information as an archive. About Hermeneutic Chaos Press is a micro press that publishes poetry and fiction chapbooks and other literary paraphernalia that may excite us. Our tastes are quite eclectic, but we are most interested in works that question the sinews of language and everyday experiences, and explore literary spaces outside the common using innovative imagery. We want voices that are radical, sharp, startling and resonating. We would also love to read collaborative and hybrid writing.
