…many wonderful poetry books are being put forth each year by publishers ranging from big commercial houses to university presses to the tenacious little presses that manage to hang on.
Madison is lucky to be the home of one of those small presses: Parallel Press, the brainchild of Ken Frazier, who is director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries. Now in its seventh year, Parallel Press puts out five or six chapbooks – books with fewer than 48 pages – annually, with the help of the talented designers at Silver Buckle Press.
