An Ongoing Newsletter and Book Series featuring original craft essays and memoirs by accomplished poets and prose writers. Marsh Hawk Press has always believed that literature begins in community—on the first page, in the first line that makes you pause. Chapter One is our way of opening the door a little wider: offering first chapters and essays from our authors, free to read, so that curiosity can become commitment, and a single page can become a lifelong reader–writer relationship. The Newsletter — free to read, easy to share, and grounded in the belief that a writer’s beginnings and growth are nourished by lived experience, opening into horizons far beyond the classroom. Subscribe now for free! The Books — a growing series of writing memoirs and craft works, often originating from original essays first published in the Newsletter. Explore them here. |
