8. Ugly Duckling Presse
Ugly Duckling Presse is a not-for-profit art and publishing collective that produces “small to mid-size editions of new poetry, translations, lost works, essays, and artists’ books.” It shows a penchant for emerging, international, and “forgotten” writers with “well-defined formal or conceptual projects” that may not fit easily in the output of other publishers. In addition to publishing new writers like Jen Bervin and Jon Cotner, it also offers 0 To 9: The Complete Magazine, a mimeographed magazine by artists Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer that collects the work of some of the most exciting writers and artists working between 1967-69. The Presse’s website also houses a very special catalog of original web books and an online chapbook archive. You can read Daniil Kharms’s The Blue Notebook in its entirety.
