Collection: Essay Press

from the press:

Founded in 2006 by Eula Biss, Stephen Cope, and Catherine Taylor, Essay Press publishes artful, innovative writing that questions convention and explores issues of significant contemporary relevance. EP publishes essays that extend or challenge the formal protocols of nonfiction, including, but not limited to: lyric essays and prose poems or poetics; experimental biography and autobiography; innovative approaches to journalism, experimental historiography, criticism, scholarship, and philosophy. EP considers the essay as a form to be rooted in its etymological origins: as a trying, as an attempt, as a process.

Essay Press operates primarily in Buffalo, NY, on the territory of the Seneca Nation, a member of the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations Confederacy. This territory is covered by The Dish with One Spoon Treaty of Peace and Friendship, a pledge to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. This territory is also covered by the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua, between the United States Government and the Six Nations Confederacy, which further affirmed Haudenosaunee land rights and sovereignty in the State of New York.
