Two of us did a poetry press in Santa Barbara: 30 titles, letterpress, Multilith, editing, binding, wine and cheese book openings, conferences, book fairs, catalogs, magazine exchanges. Poetry could save the world, we thought. Mostly, I prized the individual voice. Check my blog, Bookaholic, for what I think now.
The general list of small press titles is below. If you follow the publishers, such as older "small" presses, as I do, you'll find more specific information here:
Collectibles amid forgettables … or maybe you just like poetry. For other browsing, try these malls:
Histories & Mysteries, Savvy, College Editions, eCrater.com, Bonanzle, orBiblio.com.
