Pavement Saw Website:
Pavement Saw Press was started in 1993 and released its first two titles in January of 1994. As of January 2006, 56 titles have been published. We specialize in publishing the highest standard of various kinds of poetry, nearly all are first full length collections or are substantially sized Selected and Collected poetry books by authors who deserve national recognition. Our material has a wide range: some narrative poets, who can now boast about having a page on the Academy of American Poets website, had their first collections published by Pavement Saw Press. On the other end of the spectrum we published a book length collaborative poem written in seven languages. We have a yearly (approximately) literary journal, Pavement Saw; we usually publish one or two chapbooks a year and four to five full length collections ranging in size from 80 to 612 pages. Full length books published in the last three months include Blue Mound to 161 by Garin Cycholl, A Hungry Ghost Surrenders his Tacklebox by Maj Ragain, And Shadow Remained by Ken Waldman, Milk Chip Monday by Julie Otten, and a reprint of One Wish Left by Tony Gloeggler. Uncontainable Noise by Stephen Davenport will be published in the next two months followed by Rachel M. Simon's Theory of Orange. Our chapbooks which are published in editions of 400 copies have all sold out except for one. Our full length books are printed in editions of 1000 to 1650 copies often in tandem with a limited hardcover edition. Reviews of our titles have appeared in Rain Taxi, Writer's Chronicle, Bloomsbury Review, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Poets and Writers, The London Times, and many others.
