Rob Mclennan interviewed us on why we do what we do, how we do it, and what sets us apart from other small presses; we provided incredibly truthful and loving answers.

“Operating without concern for ‘the market’ and lifting up material that feels vital, for its own sake…[is what] we do.”
“We have a passion for creating beautiful and spacious physical scaffolding - paper, ink, thread, spine - for the poetry and prose that our authors have entrusted to us. Over time we have learned that as a small press, we need to grant each other the same generous blank pages, the time to ponder, to get bogged down by life, to resurface, to find each other again.”
“I think of us as spearheading our own sort of ‘slow literature’ movement, which means we just do what we can, when we can, without driving ourselves and each other crazy.”
“I see our press as a very tiny stream making its way down the mountains, picking its way over stones, following the lay of the land, as the snowmelt of the previous winter. Our handbound aesthetic can be quite time consuming, yet is very personal and highly textured.”
