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 worked with Travis Blair, a poet from Texas, to produce his first poetry collection, Train to Chihuahua and other poems of Mexico.
2009 marked a turning point for Old Seventy Creek Press. I sponsored a poetry contest. Bernard Horn won the 2009 Old Seventy Creek Poetry Press Prize.
2010 is winding down. Temple Cone won the 2010 Old Seventy Creek Poetry Press Prize. New books have been published for Temple Cone, Julia Nunnally Duncan and Emily Burns. You will find links to their books on the left hand side of this page.
2011 will soon be over. Mary Ellen Miller won the 2011 Old Seventy Creek Poetry Press Prize. Any of the books listed on the website would make a great gift for Christmas, birthdays, or for that special someone in your life.
