...Tinfish Press boasts titles by Linh Dinh, Yunte Huang (whose fascinating book, Cribs, I really liked a lot...it was blurbed by Marjorie Perloff who writes "In this brilliant collection of paragrammatic and punning lyric, Huang shows himself to be a unique master of the language game"), Sawako Nakayasu, and Barbara Jane Reyes, author of the award-winning poeta en san francisco from Tinfish...

[A non-profit organization founded in 1995 by Susan M. Schultz, Tinfish Press publishes a journal of experimental poetry from the Pacific, including Hawai`i, New Zealand/Aotearoa, Australia, California, and western Canada. The press also produces books and chapbooks of poetry and experimental prose, some of it written in Hawai`i Creole English (Pidgin). Each publication is designed by artists living in Hawai`i, under the direction of cover-girl, Gaye Chan. Tinfish uses recycled materials, including tarpaper, weather maps, proof sheets, and hamburger sleeves to cover its always un-recycled poetry and prose.]
