5 Islands Press: History and Archives

“Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun”
Christina Rosetti

5 Islands Press now has a new website. This is where you will find out about our recent and forthcoming publications; our bookstore; and news about the Press and anything else we think you might be interested in. But we cherish the history and traditions of the Press, will retain and maintain this site which records and celebrates our history. We hope you will spend some time here, and learn about Ron Pretty and the revered press that he, his collaborators and successors built, and what it has done for so many emerging poets. We at Oystercatcher Enterprises Ltd, which is now the custodian of the Press, have some very large shoes to fill.
