| Coffee
House Press is an award-winning, nonprofit literary publisher dedicated to innovation
in the craft of writing and preservation of the tradition of book arts. Coffee
House produces books that present the dreams and ambitions of people who have
been underrepresented in published literature, books that shape our national consciousness
while strengthening a larger sense of community. Coffee
House Press was founded in 1984, and took its name from the long tradition of
coffee houses as places for the free exchange of ideas, where each individual
had equal time for expression, regardless of station or background. The English
coffee house of the 1600s was a place of fellowship and discussion of the events
of the day. The Parisian cafes of the early 1900s witnessed the birth of Dadaism,
cubism, and surrealism. The American coffee house of the 1950s, a refuge from
conformity for beat poets, exploded with literary energy. This spirit lives on
in the pages of Coffee House Press books.
