Established in 1998 by publisher, editor, and book designer Christine Holbert, Lost Horse Press—a nonprofit independent press based in Scio, Oregon—publishes poetry titles by both emerging and established writers, and makes available other fine contemporary literature through cultural, educational, and publishing programs and activities. Lost Horse Press is dedicated to high-quality work ignored by conglomerate publishers—work in danger of vanishing into obscurity in what has become the age of chain stores and mass-appeal food, movies, art, and books.
