I'll Keep An Eye Out for Them at BookExpo

Sheila Farr (Seattle Times) reports on a new publishing venture launched by local arts patron Charles Wright: a new imprint devoted exclusively to poetry that "plans to develop long-term relationships with poets and work hard to promote them." And operate on a for-profit basis, although Wright's fairly sure they won't make money for a while. But he's not starting entirely from scratch; as part of his pre-launch plans for the unnamed imprint, Wright acquired Verse Press, to which the Significant Other is grateful for publishing Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's, and hired one of Verse's regular contributors, Joshua Beckman, as an editor.
