Rope-a-Dope Pressproduces handbound editions of comtemporary poetry, fiction, and artists' books, incorporating letterpress and recycled materials. To view and purchase our latest books, visit the Rope-a-Dope Press blog.
The Golden Gloves Chapbook Series commences this year with our first annual guest editor, Chris Tonelli. Together with Rope-a-Dope founders Robert daVies and Mary Walker Graham, each guest editor will publish three chapbooks: one solicited, one through open submissions (date TBD: stay tuned), and one his/her own.
In collaboration with The So and So Series, The Manila Broadsides are published once a month in letterpressed limited editions featuring the work of early-career poets and artists. The broadsides are debuted monthly at the readings, held in Rope-a-Dope's studio at The Distillery. To view, purchase or subscribe to the series, click here.
The Jungle, a hard-cover, handmade anthology of the first 18 Manila Broadsides, was released at the end of January 2008. The Jungle features 18 poets and 6 artists, as well as some pretty tricky sewing, for which one needs 6 needles and some stuff you don't even want to know about. The Jungle can be found in the Boston Public Library, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, and the University at Buffalo's Poetry Collection.
Projects to Date lists the various organizations with whom we have collaborated. The results have been several exhibitions and fundraisers that have incorporated the mechanical creativity of the letterpress.
