Hip Hooray Press is a fairly new entity out of Kent, Ohio. Their first chapbook is by Jordan Castro, perhaps best known for being associated with some of the Muumuu House writers.
Kadian by Jordan Castro reads like a Twitter feed, with short bursts of reflection on drugs, sex, and even rock and roll (kind of). I think I usually like Jordan’s longer stuff (full disclosure: I’ve published Jordan before), but Kadian shows shifts in Jordan’s writing, utilizing different types of punctuation and longer titles for more visual interplay.
As far as Hip Hip Hooray goes, I’m not sure what they have up next. Focusing just on Ohio/midwest writers could be a good idea.
