Pearls of Portland 003: Vivian Ewing, editor of ENTER RURAL SCENE and founder of Wash and Fold Press

What's your assessment of Maine print media, both art-centered and otherwise, and where does Wash and Fold Press fit?

I spend so much of my time on my own writing that I feel like I just stuck my head above water to put this book together. It has been gratifying to get to create the type of anthology that I’d want to read but now that it’s out, it’s having a life of its own. The artists involved live all over the country — California, New York, Florida, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts — and it’s been fun to see the orders come in from those places and a few others. The project started in Maine and was supported locally by the Kindling Fund and now it’s off into the world.
