From Ancient Greek, thixis ‘touch & tropos ‘of turning.’
When disturbed, when shaken, when stirred, a thixotropic liquid flows more freely. You could say it opens.
(After the force is removed, the liquid will return in time to its previous state.)
Thixotropic Press’s intention is to publish chapbooks of single long poems (or interdependent sequences) & poetic essays that reflect this physical-energetic-molecular property.
Our first two chapbooks, The Particles, and 7 Cervicals / Riga Pine have been published. Other titles are forthcoming.
