CoffeeShop Blues is a book/journal that is meant to promote the writers, poets, artists and musicians across the world. This is a publisher sponsored journal that will be yielding no profit for the company. The journal is designed to showcase the artists within and will retain no copyrights for their work. Designed to reach an international audience, this journal guides its readers to the artist's sites where they can find, purchase, or just become a fan of each. This is the first issue being released and has become a major undertaking that Coreopsis Publications has worked through. This issue displays the poetry of Edwin Cordevilla, Robert Natello, Jeff Hwodzecky, Sheikha A., and Debbie Keller; the art and poetry of Nathaniel Hvizdos, and Eric "Moebius" Morlin; the flash fiction of Lennart Lundh; the music of Sam Gunderson, and Lucy Malheur. We will be accepting submissions year round and we take each and every one into grave consideration.
