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 such poets as Neil Carpathios, Lynne Knight, Jessica de Koninck, Christine Stewart-Nunez, Carolyn Miller, Patricia Clark, Hayden Saunier, Karen Paul Holmes, Geraldine Connolly, Paige Riehl, Ann Fisher-Wirth, Gary J. Whitehead, Sarah Wetzel, Michael T. Young, David Graham, and Kory Wells. It is a great pleasure to usher wonderful books into the poetry world.
We have published three anthologies, The Doll Collection, The Book of Donuts, and, most recently, A Constellation of Kisses. 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 newest craft book is The Practicing Poet: Writing Beyond the Basics, edited by Diane Lockward.
Our poets have been featured on Tracy K. Smith's podcast series The Slowdown, Poetry Daily, The Writer's Almanac, Verse Daily, The Missouri Review, Ted Kooser's American Life in Poetry, Rebecca Foust's "Poetry Sunday" column in Women's Voices for Change, Cagibi Express, and Moms in Poetry.
