Anacapa Review A project of Gunpowder Press (see other related projects). About Launched in March 2023, Anacapa Review is an online poetry journal and an extension of Gunpowder Press, an independent poetry publisher founded by David Starkey in 2013, and co-edited by Chryss Yost.Why Anacapa? Visible on the horizon from the coast of Santa Barbara, Anacapa Island is part of Channel Islands National Park, located in the Pacific Ocean, known as Anypakh (“mirage”) to the Chumash Native American Indians who first inhabited this land. Anacapa Island is in some ways a mirage: the island is comprised of three distinct islet segments—east, middle, and west Anacapa—that stretch across almost five miles of horizon. As with Anacapa Island, we hope the individual poems in each issue of Anacapa Review will create something magical when they are presented together.
