TINFISH PRESS
Experimental Poetry of the Pacific
ABOUT TINFISH PRESS
Tinfish Press was founded in 1995 by poet Susan M. Schultz. It was her mission to publish experimental poetry (and some prose) from the Pacific.
In 2020 Jaimie Gusman Nagle, poet and visual artist, took over editorship of Tinfish Press. She is committed to Susan’s original mission of publishing experimental work from the Pacific.
Tinfish Press books and chapbooks can be purchased through Small Press Distribution.
STAFF
Zoë Loos, Intern
Zoë Malia Ozoa Loos is a 2019 graduate of Saint Mary's College of California's MFA program in Creative Nonfiction Writing. She is from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Her writing centers around growing up in Hawaiʻi as a mixed-race, bisexual woman. Her writing constantly explores how she connects to not only herself and others but also the environment as well. She is heavily influenced by her undergraduate degrees in Environmental Studies and Ethnic Studies from Saint Mary's College of California. Her hope is to use writing and the written word as a form of self-expression and a way of connecting people to each other and the environment. The universe is beautifully intertwined and we are all a part of that. More on Zoë, HERE.
