About Small Press Incubator
The Small Press Incubator Program is a unique opportunity for BIPOC individuals to learn and develop their skills in different aspects of the book-making system. Recognizing that the book arts have a long history of being used by marginalized artists looking for ways to showcase ideas without relying on the exclusive systems of conventional publication or gallery representation, the goal of this incubator is to provide a platform for poets to take their ideas for poetry publishing from abstraction to reality by providing participants with the skills, context, and community to start a small press. From conception to production and distribution, participants will receive support and guidance to bring their creative projects to fruition.
This lecture and the Small Press Incubator Program is generously supported by the Poetry Foundation.
About This Event
On Friday, December 13th, between 6PM – 8PM ET, the participants from the Small Press Incubator Program will be presenting their work from the program. This will include a presentation on their small press idea, as well as a prototype of their first book. Each participant will have an alotted time slot for guest interaction, so that any questions might be asked from either attendees of the events, or the mentors themselves. The mentors include Christina Long, Gee Wesley, Rachael Wilson, and Lindsay Buchman.
