publishers & orgs we've worked with
“Every time I purchase a print from you, I feel good about supporting your artistry and that of the poets whose work you print. I feel good knowing that the purchase of certain prints contributes to humanitarian concerns. I feel good about the beauty that I add to my own living space when I frame a poem and place it where it meets the eye on a daily basis. I feel good about the appreciative response I receive from those I send printed poems to as gifts. There is nothing about my experience with Expedition Press that is not gratifying.” — Kim T.
