Our
Mission
Marsh Hawk Press books often highlight the affinity of poetry and the visual arts. Each book is produced with particular care to visual style, often including reproductions of artwork alongside poems. Marsh Hawk Press also sponsors readings and exhibits, and hosts a Web site with a rotating exhibition space and several blogs focused on poetry and visual art. Its books, events, and Web presence all share the mission to act as a dissemination point for poetry and visual art. Marsh Hawk also offers a poetry prize judged by a different poet each year.

EITHER SHE WAS by Karin Randolph
In Karin Randolph’s Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize-winning collection, David Shapiro finds “that it is always present tense as an empiricist casting a shadow and casting for shadows.” The language of Randolph’s prose poems is subtle, supple, and ever-inventive, and the speed and acuity of her perceptions will startle.

A WOMAN'S GUIDE TO MOUNTAIN CLIMBING by Jane Augustine
On a journey through mountains both actual and symbolic, a woman meditates on selfhood, family interactions, yearning, pain, and death in the midst of the ongoing beauty of the finite world.

CLARITY AND OTHER POEMS by Thomas Fink
Teeming with the fragments of ancestors’ whispers and mistranslated ad lingo, these poems are intricate and wildly disjunctive. We may be stuck in a world where “Casinos are in every cortex,” but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t also room for “aspiring Democracy” to burst forth. |
