Collapse Press is a small literary publisher specializing in poetry and prose by authors, established and new, whose work addresses the current social atmosphere of a society in turmoil and on the verge of transformation.
“Leave your ego at the door and enter with every bit of your vulnerable heart. The writing found here seeks to undermine consolidated power, market share, corporate assimilation, entrenched paradigms and Goop.”
“Our mission is to look the darkness and stark reality of the human condition in the eye, and chronicle the ways we can and must survive and thrive in the face of that very real horror which seeks to dehumanize everyone for the sake of god, money and power.”
-Paul Corman Roberts
We believe that we have a role to play in cultivating spaces and supporting the power of creativity, expression, and the articulated witness of experience in the sharing of community voices on our platforms, which is an essential and guiding ethos of the independent press. While our resources cannot compete, our passion aims to try. We acknowledge that we have, and will continue to make mistakes. But harm will not be part of a profit design. We can only promise that we will share when we can share, lift when we can lift, support when we can support, and at the very least- not contribute to the directions of things that we didn’t sign up for.
