Charles Putris-Sirtup

Charles Putris-Sirtup is the prolific heart of Mountaintop Publishing — a cartoonist, satirist, poet, and fiction writer whose work spans fly epics, nuclear parody, political cartoons, and raw poetry. His range is staggering: from the 600-page satiric odyssey of FLYLAND to the caustic wit of TodaysTrump 2016, from the tender verses of The Library Poemz to the underground energy of his comics work. He is the rare artist who makes you laugh and think in the same breath. A man of sweeping vision and undefinable talents — poet, fiction novelist, cartoonist and graphic novelist. A true man of the Renaissance, if only we were having a Renaissance.

Poetry

The Poet of the People

George Coutoumanos

George Coutoumanos was a renowned Greek-American poet and the Poet of the People — a voice of rare warmth and wisdom whose three books of songs celebrate life, love, and living in harmony with the universe. His work spans the tenderness of motherhood, the epic struggle of existence, and the quiet beauty of the human spirit. Writing in the tradition of Gibran, his epic poem Trilogy has been compared to The Prophet for its sweeping moral vision. His poetry endures because it speaks to something timeless in all of us.

Mark Hummel

Mark Hummel is a world-famous harmonica virtuoso and blues road warrior who turned out to be just as gifted with a pen as he is with a harp. Big Road Blues: 12 Bars on I-80 is a witty, insightful, and deeply felt memoir of life on the road in the modern blues scene — funny, honest, and full of the kind of hard-won wisdom you only get from years of living out of a van.
