Help Poetry Endure
Ink & Ribbon Press is a nonprofit publisher dedicated to poetry as a made thing — crafted, printed, and preserved with care.
Your donation helps us:
Print and bind new fine-edition poetry books.
Support poets through the $3,000 LemonLight Prize.
Keep our readings and programs accessible to all.
Sustain a press dedicated to craft, not convenience.
Your donation doesn’t disappear into overhead. It becomes paper, ink, binding, and time — the quiet labor required to make poetry last. Each gift helps transform words into something held, shared, and cherished for decades.
Ink & Ribbon Press is a registered 501(c)(3). All donations are tax-deductible
Every poem leaves a mark — but some marks endure longer than others.
ink & Ribbon Fine Editions
Our Fine Editions series celebrates the enduring craft of bookbinding through a limited run of three to five handmade volumes for each publication - these collectible works that merge art, literature, and permanence.
Each edition will be bound in collaboration by Nate McCall of McCall Co. Bindery, an award-winning artisan whose bindings unite traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Working exclusively with Ink & Ribbon, McCall will create bespoke bindings for our Fine Editions — each one stitched, pressed, and gilded by hand in the Pacific Northwest.
