While occupying the margins of the literary world, the small press and the chapbook are often vehicles for defining historic poetry communities and shifts in poetics. This exhibit highlights new works published by contemporary small presses that continue this dynamic tradition while exploring the possibilities of the chapbook form.

Curator Ryan Murphy is the author of On Violet Street, a chapbook of poems published by the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art. With Patrick Masterson, he operates A Rest Press.
