I attended the first of three launches for Rubicon Press last Friday, a 
neat little anthology with contributions from Canada, England, & the 
United States. The editor of the press has put together a statement of 
purpose, which I want to pass on to poetryetc.

One of the neatest things about the launch here was a set of  t-shirts 
with one of my poems on it, which she insisted I sign. In England, I 
believe there will be a t-shirt with a poem by Denise Riley. (Does a 
t-shirt count as a broadside?) The first chapbook looks good, & has 
poems by Sheila E Murphy among a wide range of other poets. I look with 
some awe upon the energy and commitment of the young publishers, & wish 
them all the best.

Rubicon Press
Simply Extraordinary

About the Press
Rubicon Press publishes chapbooks and broadsides of extraordinary 
poetry from authors in Canada and around the world. We’re looking for 
work that resonates; poetry that is more than just excellence of 
technique and use of multiple forms. We seek poetry that moves, 
inspires and affects.

Our Work
We produce beautiful little chapbooks available in either unsigned or 
signed and numbered limited editions, working with our poets during 
printing to give their books the look and feel of the collection they 
had in mind during the writing process.

Who We Are
Jenna Butler is Rubicon Press’s Founding Editor. An educator and poet, 
she makes her home in Edmonton, Alberta. Her work has been widely 
published in literary magazines and journals, and she has edited eight 
collections of poetry in Canada and England. Recent anthology credits 
include Otherwheres (Pen & Inc. Press), String to Bow (Leaf Press) and 
The Moosehead Anthology X: Future Welcome (DC Books). She is currently 
working toward a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing from the 
University of East Anglia, UK.

Yvonne Blomer is Rubicon Press’s Assistant Editor. Her poetry has won 
awards and been published internationally. Most recently she was a 
finalist in the CBC Literary Awards and in the Malahat Review's Long 
Poem Prize. Her work has appeared in the journals The Rialto, The 
Antigonish Review, and in In Fine Form: An Anthology of Canadian Form 
Poetry.  She recently completed her MA at the University of East Anglia 
and returned to Canada.  Her first book, a broken mirror, fallen leaf 
will come out in the spring of 2006. 

Chapbooks
To order any of  Rubicon’s chapbooks (see www.rubiconpress.org), please 
send a cheque for the requisite amount made out to Rubicon Press at the 
address at the bottom of this page. All prices include shipping costs. 
Include your return address for prompt reply. Those ordering from 
outside Canada, please send International Money Orders.

Submissions
We’re interested in poems that work together cohesively in a small 
series, rather than poems taken from a longer manuscript. If you 
believe your work fits with our mandate, we’d love to hear from you! 
Please refrain from sending full manuscripts by e-mail; with the advent 
of viruses and spamming, we are justifiably wary receiving complete 
manuscripts in attachment form. Instead, send your full collections to 
us via snail mail at the address at the bottom of the page.

Include the following in your submission package:

•	A cover letter that includes your name, complete address, phone 
number and e-mail address
•	No more than thirty pages of poetry (does not include title page)
•	A brief bio stating who you are and your writing/publishing history
•	A self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your manuscript 
(International reply coupons, please, for those writing from outside 
Canada!) If no SASE is provided, your manuscript will be not be 
returned.

Please do not send us single poems intended for broadsides. When we 
intend to publish broadsides, we will make a submission call on the 
site. Any questions can be addressed to [log in to unmask]

Subscriptions
Rather than ordering all of our titles individually, consider 
subscribing to Rubicon Press for only $35.00/year (including shipping 
costs*). This means that all of our UNSIGNED chapbooks and broadsides 
(at least four chapbooks and a minimum of two broadsides) for the year 
of subscription will be delivered to your door shortly after their 
release, in mint condition and hot off the press! Simply send us a note 
at the address on the bottom of the page, letting us know that you 
would like to subscribe, and include your shipping address and a cheque 
for $35.00* made out to Rubicon Press. We will acknowledge receipt of 
your cheque. Now all you have to do is sit back, relax, and wait for 
the goodies to start arriving in the post.

*International orders, please include an extra $5 to cover 
international shipping costs, for a total of $40.00 Canadian per 
subscription. Those ordering from outside Canada must use International 
Money Orders – no cash, please!

Signed and Numbered Limited-Edition Subscriptions
Our signed and numbered limited editions are really something special. 
They are a fantastic and inexpensive way of adding a number of unique 
collections to your personal library. As they will all arrive in mint 
condition, the limited-edition chapbooks and broadsides are worthy of 
becoming collectors’ items.

For those wishing to receive a subscription consisting entirely of 
signed and numbered limited-edition chapbooks and broadsides, please 
contact the press by e-mail at [log in to unmask] and we will send 
you a price quote. Mention “Limited Editions Subscription” in the title 
of your e-mail.
