About Hem Press
Hem Press is an independent publisher from Birmingham, England, publishing contemporary literature from around the world. Our publication schedule includes narrative verse, visual poetry, experimental memoir, radical translation and more.
Working with Colchester-based printer ExWhyZed, using FSC certified materials, publications take on the spirit of garments. This emphasises books as objects, language’s palpability and the confronting, and joining, of boundaries.
In addition to printed material, Hem Press houses Angry Starlings: an imprint exploring sound poetry through contemporary performance and compositional frameworks. Releases are available to stream for free, and purchasable as an MP3.
