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.
Brave and worthy. I would like to participate, pro bono.
