IN THE SHADOW COUNTRY
A NOTE TO OUR READERS:
Thank you for visiting the Tavern Books website. Tavern Books closed its doors in 2020, but we’d like to keep this site as an archive of the work we are so proud to have done. Thank you to all who have read and will read our books, and to those who supported us during our ten years of existence.
Tavern titles can be purchased through Small Press Distribution, as well as your local bookstore.
Tavern Books is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit poetry publisher based in Portland, Oregon. We exist to print, promote, and preserve works of literary vision, to foster a climate of cultural preservation, and to disseminate books in a way that benefits the reading public. We are dedicated to publishing poetry in translation from around the world, republishing poetry collections that have fallen out of print, and championing the work of young female poets.
We believe that books are more than words—that’s why all of our titles are issued in a beautifully designed, uniform series in both paperback and hardcover editions. Even though digital short-run printing, e-books, and print-on-demand platforms are markedly inexpensive alternatives to craft printing, we’ve chosen to offset print all of our full-length collections on Heidelberg printing presses here in the United States to create books that are exceptionally beautiful and a joy to hold.
