Celebrating 10 years of Seraph Press

1/11/2014

I can barely believe it! This year marks 10 years of Seraph Press. This December it will be 10 years since the launch of first Seraph Press's first title: Locating the Madonna, by Jenny Powell (then Powell-Chalmers) and Anna Jackson. Since then Seraph Press has published nine more titles (yep, an average of one a year) and has developed a reputation as a publisher of beautiful books of high-quality poetry. I've published debut collections and works by experienced and celebrated writers, collaborations and chapbooks. It's been great fun, and I've met some wonderful people.

Seraph Press has been a bit quiet this year, after publishing two books last year (and also with managing editor Helen Rickerby - ie, me - putting a lot of time into her own collection of poetry, Cinema, published by Mākaro Press in March). But I'm gearing up for a busy end-of-year. In December I'll be publishing a debut hand-bound chapbook, Girls of the Drift, from young Wellington writer Nina Powles. But before then we're going to celebrate 10 years of Seraph Press in style - with an event at LitCrawl, with readings from several of the authors Seraph Press has published over the decade, and with the publication of a wee limited edition hand-made anthology of some of my favourite poems - one from each collection (two from Locating the Madonna - one from each author).

LitCrawl, which takes place on the evening of Saturday 15 November, is an evening of literary events around Wellington City. There will be hard choices to be made, because there's several things on at any one time, but it's going to be great! I hope you'll come and help us celebrate our 10-year anniversary, and enjoy some of the other exciting events that evening.

Happy birthday, Seraph! In my humble (and biased opinion) the best press in NZ! You are amazing, Helen! Thank you for all of these beautiful books. x Helen
