Cristin Aptowicz, Jenny Davidson, David Griffith, Douglas A. Martin, Matthew Sharpe, Lynne Tillman
"In fifteen years, Soft Skull Press has delighted, excited and enraged the American public--from eight books selected as Voice Literary Supplement Best Books of the Year, to two books identified by Ann Coulter as amongst the five most fraudulent books of the past decade. In so doing, Soft Skull has become one of the most well respected, independent publishers in the world, with books in translation throughout Europe, South America and Japan, Korea, and China. Herewith we offer several of the writers who have made us who we are, and will continue to make us who we hope to be."

- SOFT SKULL PRESS (“...full of hard-won, fraught, unsparing emotional truth...a piece of stylish and ferociously sharp prose. I love its fierce concentration and levels of obsession.” —Colm Tóibín, on OUTLINE of MY LOVER. "These are great poems cause they’re such non-poems. Torn up pieces, patches of stuff like a guy on a train reminds you of someone you used to love. If the whole category of poetry emptied out and they opened something else next door that does what poetry did—by falling down, missing the train, missing everything, and you can almost hear it—like music—well this poetry is kind of like that. It's awkward and swift. I really like it." —Eileen Myles, on IN the TIME of ASSIGNMENTS.
