About the press

Cooper Dillon is a small poetry press committed to upholding the virtues of poetry as a high art and expression of truth, beauty, and sincerity: the values that make poems timeless. They are dedicated to honesty, self-sufficiency (they don’t take grants, government funding, endowments, donations, or money from their authors), community building and evolution of the art form.
