Garden-Door Press

Garden-Door Press is an Ithaca, NY-based publisher of experimental poetry and hybrid writing Its two gardeners are Kina Viola and Marty Cain.

Garden-Door Press is a new micro-press currently growing in Ithaca, NY. It makes chapbooks and broadsides. It believes in process, in excess and overgrowth, in homegrown language watered by tears of the neighbors, in elevated beds that destroy property values. It believes in the DIY ethic. It believes in ruralness. It believes in artifice, in hands and the handmade, but also in the internet and it

s fragmented power. It refuses to divorce affect from intellect, and is interested in experimental aesthetics that foreground the BODY, IDENTITY, and DELPHIC MESSINESS.

Here’s what had to say about Tim Earley’s terrific RATTLE RIB. Out now, and all sales proceeds go to R.O.A.R North Carolina—link in bio!

We’re super excited to announce our first release of 2025–RATTLE RIB, a downloadable e-chapbook by Tim Earley. All proceeds from sales of this book will go towards Rural Organizing and Resistance in western NC. In this work, Tim commingles the language of trauma and ecstasy—Mountain Dew, death, Romanticism, Satan, legions of bears—to transmute memory into oracular sound.
