When human rights come under attack, the Colossus anthologies run to their defense. A young, but formidable press, Colossus assembles a wide range of dynamic writers to address a variety of hot button issues.

Colossus:Body, An Anthology on the Sovereignty of the Self is the latest collection of scorching and beautiful writing focused on empathy, compassion and justice for the self. These poems and prose pieces address body autonomy, health, birth stories, and identity. They are armed and dangerous and worth teaching, meditating on and crying with again and again.
