Imagined in Galesburg, Illinois, in 2002 and established in 2004 in Providence, Rhode Island, Horse Less Press is a bare-bones, thin-skinned literary press. We publish an online journal, hand-made chapbooks and pamphlets, and full-length perfect-bound books. We believe in the necessary absence of every articulated thing.

About the Editors:

Lee (Projective Industries), The Black Mariah (DoubleCross Press),  from Autogeography (with Mike Sikkema, Black Warrior Review), The Ohio System (with Erika Howsare, Octopus Books), and See Also Electric Light (Dancing Girl Press).

She’s the author of Elect June Grooms (horse less press), The Ohio System (with Jen Tynes, Octopus Books), and Roadblock/Sightlines (with Kate Schapira, The Cultural Society). She lives in Virginia, amid a tangle of invasives.

Jennifer Denrow wrote California (Four Way Books) and lives in Colorado where she attends the University of Denver. She likes the ocean, the sky, cowboys, and bicycles.

Michael Sikkema has never even been to outer space. He is the author of Futuring, and the chapbooks Code Over Code (Lame House Press), I Could Jump Through The Keyhole In Your Door (Horse Less Press), “Saying Things As An Engine Would” ( HNG MN BOOKS), the collaborative chapbook Autogeography written with Jen Tynes (Black Warrior Review), and the forthcoming Wander Rooms and Outside Noise (Grey Book Press). Mostly he trusts apple pie surrealism, originals like Kenneth Patchen and bp nichol, and his backpack. He’s in love, so alive.
