Shadowbox Press: constellations gathered along the ecliptic

Founded in 2006, we publish handmade chapbooks of progressive writing, often by underrepresented writers, with a tendency toward poetry. We stress collusion over fissure & believe a bare-bones approach guarantees candor. Work that foregrounds connections, fixed & tenuous alike, between disparate bodies is especially welcome. We're open to what's remarkable & resonant.

houses built over water, waves at the window--

water doesn't recede completely anymore after a flood

water can't be removed without disrupting the entire surface
