Copper Canyon Press
Copper Canyon Press (CCP), a nonprofit publishing company, was founded in 1972 by Sam Hamill, poet and translator, and Holly (Tree) Swenson, book designer, in Denver, CO. In 1974 Hamill and Swenson relocated the company to Port Townsend, WA. They established the press to publish poetry exclusively, within the tradition of serious literary publishing. Their first titles were printed from hand-set type on antique letterpresses, but they soon began publishing more-affordable trade books.
