Old Seventy Creek Press
Old Seventy Creek Press is an independent small press located in Albany, Kentucky. As a press, Old Seventy Creek press is small, but it’s really a press in search of words that have been cut from the hide of a passing moment.
As a publisher and author, I understand how writers epitomize private lives and write the kind of literature that is a sound, a moment, a glow from the fires of seeing.
Old Seventy Creek Press began some years after Oscar Rucker, my friend and publisher in Berea, Kentucky died. I started the press in 2003 to publish my own work and the work of emerging authors. Mary Neal’s book, Life in the River Hills, an oral history of the Cumberland River and Clinton County areas, was the first book I produced that was not written by me.
In 2008, I have worked with Travis Blair, a poet from Texas, to produce his first poetry collection, Train to Chihuahua and other poems of Mexico.
2009 will mark a turning point for Old Seventy Creek Press. I will read more manuscripts, publish a full-length volume of poetry and a novel, and offer two monetary awards for the selected works.
