To Our Friends

Copper Canyon Press was founded in 1972 in the belief that poetry is essential to the individual spirit and a necessary element in a thriving culture. Our mission is to foster the work of emerging, established, and world-renowned poets for an expanding audience.

This mission is supported by poets, readers, volunteers, booksellers, librarians, teachers, reviewers, and funders who share a conviction that a good poem sharpens our appreciation of the world, invigorates the language, and nourishes the soul.

Please join us.
