Who We Are

Terrapin Books is a small press specializing in poetry books. We publish books by individual authors, an occasional anthology, and a small number of craft books.

We have published collections by Neil Carpathios, Lynne Knight, Jessica de Koninck, Christine Stewart-Nunez, Carolyn Miller, Patricia Clark, Susanna Lang, Hayden Saunier, Michelle Menting, Karen Paul Holmes, Geraldine Connolly, and Michael T. Young. It is a great pleasure to usher these wonderful books into the poetry world. 

​We have published two anthologies, The Doll Collection and, most recently, The Book of Donuts. 

We have also published The Crafty Poet II: A Portable Workshop, edited by Diane Lockward. This is the companion volume to the original The Crafty Poet: A Portable Workshop, now available in a revised edition from Terrapin Books.

Our poets have been featured at Poetry Daily, Verse Daily, The Missouri Review, Ted Kooser's American Life in Poetry, and Rebecca Foust's "Poetry Sunday" column in Women's Voices for Change. Our books have been reviewed in a number of places including The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Washington Independent Review of Books, the American Poetry Journal, Broadkill Review, Broad Street Review, Escape into Life, Rain Taxi Review of Books, The Live Oak Review, Mom Egg Review, Sabotage, and Wordgathering. Our books have also been adopted as course texts at such institutions as Bucks County Community College, Colorado State University, Washington & Lee University, and Grand Valley State University.

We congratulate Michelle Menting whose book, Leaves Surface Like Skin, has been named a 2017 finalist by Foreword Reviews in its annual book contest.

We congratulate Lynne Knight whose book, The Persistence of Longing, was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award in Poetry as one of the best works by a northern California poet published in 2016.
