Joseph Massey AND Graham Foust broadsides: two for $20!

I am offering TWO broadsides for the price of one: the first two broadsides of Green Fuse Press, Graham Foust's "Let This Be the Poem for a Face I Almost Made" and Joseph Massey's "Contain" are only $20 for both. As always, I pay for shipping.

Use the button below to order for yourself or for a friend who loves poetry and supporting local ventures.

Broadside #2: Joseph Massey Pre-Order

Broadside #2 is now available from Green Fuse Press. Joseph Massey's "Contain," a poem from his forthcoming book, Illocality, will be published by Wave Books in 2015, and it is now available in a limited-edition of 50 copies, numbered and signed by the author, designed and printed by Hound Dog Press in Louisville, Kentucky. The price of $20 includes shipping. Order below:

 And because it's the holiday season, I'd like to offer--as long as they last--a combination of both Massey's broadside and Graham Foust's broadside (Green Fuse Press broadside #1) for $30, which will also include shipping. See below for details on Foust's broadside.

"Elegy for Matt" Folio

My poem "Elegy for Matt," written for my friend Matt Miller who died in a cycling accident and read at his memorial service, has been printed as a folio by Steven Galbraith at RIT.

Proceeds from the sale of the folio will go directly to a support fund for Matt's son, Holden. For a donation of $25, I will send the folio, signed and numbered in an edition of 50; shipping is included in that price.

I thank you for both supporting this project and for donating to Holden in memory of a good friend and great father.

Graham Foust Broadside

Welcome to Green Fuse Press

Green Fuse Press, based in Louisville, Kentucky, seeks to publish the best poetry in the forms of beautifully-designed broadsides. We are setting out to create works of art from carefully curated poems, and our broadsides are meant to be framed.

My name is Sean Patrick Hill, and I am a poet, writer, and most importantly, a reader. I act as the curator and publisher of what I hope to be a monthly publication, which is to say I plan on releasing one broadside a month.

Each broadside is unique, and will be letterpressed and embellished with art. The broadsides are designed, set, and printed by Hound Dog Press in downtown Louisville, and created on vintage 19th-century letterpress machines. Nick Baute, one of the partners of Hound Dog, creates the images for each broadside.

As a small business, I aim to do something very unique in the world of small press publishing: I insist on paying the poet, as well as providing them with copies of the broadside.

For now, as I get this press off the ground, I will not take any submissions. Rather, I am soliciting with the intention of bringing this venture into public view. Once we are established, my intention is to publish lesser-known poets who deserve our attention.
