Damn fine words & exacting type.
Expedition Press is a letterpress printshop in Kingston, WA focused on poetry and type, and run by artist Myrna Keliher. We make art on paper with letters: broadsides, small prints, and other literary projects.
Poetry gives direct access to our deepest interiors and invites us to imagine beyond. We know imagination is crucial to freedom and so we work with poets to make poetry seen and felt by more human hearts.
What’s a broadside?
A poetry broadside is a print of a poem. Ours are letterpress printed from handset type on old presses, by permission and often in partnership with poets and publishers. They are original pieces of accessible artwork.
When you connect with a poem, it brings your insides alive. Our prints are beautiful reminders of that feeling. They hold space for it in your daily life and are a bridge to share that feeling with others. From close family to unsuspecting passersby, people get stopped, heart caught. Opened up.
Small prints
We think of our small prints as “personal propaganda.” Parts of poems, Instagram excerpts, phrases that get stuck in your head. Sentiments so deeply personal they become universal.
Our small prints range from postcard to business card size and come individually packaged as well as in sets — because the point, after all, is propagation. These prints are essential reminders and great conversation starters. For pockets, refrigerators, dashboards, bookmarks, gift notes, surprise notes, the hands of friends. Easy to frame. Fabulous to gift.
