Publisher’s description: Our motto, taken from a geological description of basalt, expresses our editorial interests: “dark-colored, fine-grained.” We prefer well-made writing that engages with the lives of others. We are especially interested in contemporary translations and work that pushes against the conventional genre boundaries. Ultimately, though, we look and listen for what strikes us as genuine.
Visit our website for updates, reviews, blogs, articles, guidelines for submissions and for the Bunchgrass Poetry Prize, and much more. We will soon begin a new feature devoted to short anecdotal memoirs about 20th century Northwest and West Coast writers, artists, composers, printers, and literary activists.
