Publisher Highlight: Insert Press

Posted on September 30, 2025July 22, 2025 by Bee Lehman

Insert Press was found in 2005 by Mathew Timmons to focus on interdisciplinary and/or hybrid works.[1] Initially, Insert Press focused on poetry in chapbook form, but over the following decade turned to increasingly toward “translation, poetics, artist books.”[2]
