Toledo Poets Center Press

From 1977 to 2003 the award-winning Toledo Poets Center published dozens of books, chapbooks and broadsides, principally by northwest Ohio poets, writers and photographers, also sponsoring nearly 200 poetry readings and serving as vital hub for Toledo-area literary activity. Non-archival copies of a limited number of the remaining TPC Press publications are now available through the Urban Affairs Center Press.
