The Seattle P-I recently penned a fitting tribute to Port Townsend's Copper Canyon Press, one of the finest poetry publishers in the world. Despite the fact that they only have 3 full-time staffers and are housed in a tiny ex-Army barracks at Fort Clatsop State Park, Copper Canyon Press won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 2005. Jim Harrison, Ted Kooser, M.S. Merwin, Pablo Neruda, Red Pine and Czeslaw Milosz all have books of verse with the press, and they deserve all the praise that is lavished on them.
