The Complete Stories announces its desire and its lie in the title; this is a book of shatter and loss.

Copper Canyon Press was founded in 1972 with a passion for poetry. One place where that passion found expression was in letterpress broadsides--beautifully designed with hand-set type and ornaments, and printed in small runs on a Chandler & Price platen press. These gorgeous pieces of literary ephemera came into the world for any number of reasons: to celebrate a book's release or mark a publishing milestone, to give as gifts to readers and donors, to distribute at readings and festivals.In the mid-2000s, Copper Canyon began working with other letterpress printers, including Stern & Faye, lone goose press, Expedition Press, and The North Press. Most recently, Copper Canyon collaborated with the School for Visual Concepts in Seattle and The North Press to produce a portfolio of broadsides featuring poetry on the theme of water.This anthology represents the broadsides and prints which are currently available from our inventory. Many are signed by the poet. They all represent the remaining copies of limited editions. And once they're gone, they're gone... though, in all but a few cases, the poem on the broadside can always be found within the Copper Canyon book it calls home.

“McHugh remains one of our most important and unusual poets.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Red Stilts finds Pulitzer Prize-winner and former U. S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser at the top of his imaginative and storytelling powers. Here are the richly metaphorical, imagistically masterful, clear and accessible poems for which he has become widely known. Kooser writes for an audience of everyday readers and believes poets "need to write poetry that doesn't make people feel stupid." Each poem in Red Stilts strives to reveal the complex beauties of the ordinary, of the world that's right under our noses. Right under Kooser's nose is rural America, most specifically the Great Plains, with its isolated villages, struggling economy, hard-working people and multiple beauties that surpass everything wrecked, wrong, or in error.

C.D. Wright is flat-out brilliant and we're damned lucky to have writers like her on Earth.

"A collection of poems by Gregory Orr"--

Marvin is known for bristling, provocative poems on what it means to be a woman and navigating turbulent relationships with both beloved ones and oneself. Marvin, dubbed a "postmodern Plath," can find herself simultaneously violent and tender, sharp and vulnerable, using irony and dark humor just as skillfully as Plath to make fierce observations on relationships and loss. Marvin co-founded VIDA, an organization committed to highlighting gender disparities in the larger landscape of literary publications. The organization is known for the "VIDA Count," an annual gender breakdown of major literary publications and book reviews. Marvin had her first child through IVF in her late 30s. Some poems address the contrasts between how she was parented versus what she wants for her daughter. Marvin explores a plethora of complicated relationships and their statuses-old or reconnected boyfriends, toxic friendships, austere parents, being a single mother. Recipient of a Whiting Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Kate Tufts Discovery Award. Some poems in Event Horizon refer to or are in conversation with other writers, including "dead poets" like Marianne Moore and Richard Howard, and also more contemporary ones like Sharon Olds and Wallace Stevens. Marvin is an only child, and her father was a CIA intelligence analyst. There are poems about their strained relationship in the book.
