Egress Studio Press is the publishing imprint of Egress Studio, a graphic design and illustration company in Bellingham, Washington. Since 2000, Egress Studio Press has been dedicated to publishing books by Pacific Northwest poets.
We’re very proud of our poets. Each one endeavors to foster unity and inspiration in the literary community. Bart Baxter, for example, sponsors a performance competition in which the poems must stand up on the page as well as the stage. Sibyl James travels the world, and uses poetry as a tool to connect one culture with another. Egress Studio Press books bring you some of the best poetry in the Pacific Northwest.
Egress Studio Press books are noted for their beauty, as well as their content. We strive to publish books with a simple yet elegant design, excellent poetry, and a look that gives one the desire to take them off the shelf. The poetry lover knows each book has something new to offer.
