Sonorous Anchorite

Sonorous Anchorite was founded during the summer of 2022 in Tucson with the purpose of publishing innovative writing that tends toward the poem. “Innovative writing that tends toward the poem,” is an intentionally vague statement of purpose, as well as a challenge to prospective authors. S.A. seeks to publish work that plays with what a poem is, what a poem might say or claim to say, how a poem might come to be & continue being-in the world. Most of the books published by S.A. are selected using an anonymous process, so as to focus attention (when selecting) on the text rather than the prominence of the author. Once a text is selected, each book is designed as a discrete aesthetic object, a “product of” rather than “beholden to” books that have come before.
