"The Contemporary Small Press: Making Publishing Visible" is a collection of essays edited by Georgina Colby, Kaja Marczewska, and Leigh Wilson. The book explores the world of small presses in the UK and the US, with a focus on their history, artistry, and impact on the publishing industry. The essays cover a range of topics, including the relationship between small presses and modernist experiments, the publishing history of black poet Gwendolyn Brooks, and the role of small presses in promoting inclusive literature. While the book provides valuable insights into the small press sector, it acknowledges the challenge of comprehensively representing such a diverse and extensive industry. [Extracted from the article]
