Who We Are

Marsh Hawk Press…

is a home for bold, imaginative poetry and poetic memoir—where language, memory, and the visual arts meet. As a nonprofit publisher, we champion innovative voices, foster a vibrant creative community, and celebrate outstanding work through our annual literary awards.

 

We’re proud to publish some of today’s most compelling writers—Jane Hirshfield, Arthur Sze, Denise Duhamel, R.L. Stine, David Lehman, Alfred Corn, Phillip Lopate, Sheila Murphy, Mary Mackey, Indigo Moor, Kim Shuck, Sharon Dolin, Harriet Zinnes, Eileen R. Tabios, Stephen Paul Miller, Chard deNiord, Burt Kimmelman, Sandy McIntosh, Geoffrey O’Brien, Paul Pines, and Steve Fellner—voices that continue to shape contemporary literature.

Our authors and books have earned major national recognition, including the PEN Oakland–Josephine Miles Award, the Eric Hoffer Prize, the Thom Gunn Award, the Calatagan Award, Best American Poetry, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the NEA. Their work has reached readers and listeners across the country, including through NPR’s A Writer’s Almanac.
