What the Press is saying about UDP

“Performing small publishing miracles …”
—Marjorie Perloff, The Times Literary Supplement

“Lovely, cheeky books by authors you’ve probably never heard of but your grandchildren will likely read in college … the preeminent nesting ground for swans of the avant-garde poetry scene.”
—Shonni Enelow, NYTimes.com (full article)

“A collective with roots in performance and zine making … its staff possesses a philosophical curiosity about what makes a book a book.”
—Michael Miller, Time Out New York (full article)

“Presses like UDP remind me that the advent of the e-reader and other forms of digitizing books don’t have to be a death knell for craftmanship in bookmaking.”

—Gillian Olivia Blythe Hamel, OmniVerse.net (full article)

“A reputable and cutting-edge enterprise … indeed a refreshing approach that answers to the mass market product (and sometimes uninspired content) coming out of the large New York houses.”
—Rigoberto Gonzalez, PoetryFoundation.org (full article)

“Fans of alternative culture are in luck.”
—Iberia Airlines in-flight magazine
