Clamshell Press is elated to announce our first book launch today, available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook on Amazon โ€” and FREE to Kindle Unlimited subscribers!

Lost Shores is a beautifully crafted collection of poems by Kenneth Willard, featuring black-and-white film photography by Lisa Martin.

Partnering with Kenneth Willard on our first release felt like finding the ideal author with whom to begin our journey. His thought-provoking writing and dedication to quality aligned with the vision for our boutique press.

Equally momentous was the collaboration with Lisa Martin, whose evocative film images were a fortuitous artistic match for the emotional depth of Kennethโ€™s poetry. Together, they helped shape a beautifully crafted book Clamshell Press is proud to bring into the world.

If you enjoy reflective poetry, words that make you think, images that inspire, and books made with care, we hope you will discover Lost Shores.
