March is Small Press Month in the US — an annual celebration of the small independent publisher. I’m celebrating by buying my friend Carol Peter’s first poetry chapbook, Muddy Prints, Water Shine from Finishing Line Press (Carol’s poetry was published as part of the New Women’s Voices Series chapbook competition.)
I also bought a letterpress printed zine from artnoose to add to my small but growing collection of letterpress printed pamplets and chapbooks. There are lots more zines for sale on Etsy, check them out!
For free, in San Francisco tonight, City Lights hosts a group reading by authors and poets from six local independent presses. And the Small Press website has a list of other events around the country.
