About Fitler Press
Fitler Press collects the writing of Thomas Jay Rush — poems, essays, stories, travel pieces, songs, and cartoons. The list is wide and intentionally uneven, gathered over decades rather than curated by season. The name comes from Fitler Square, the small West Center City park where Rush and his wife first met. The press is simply the shelf where that long, miscellaneous body of work finally stands together.
