Chorus Press is devoted to publishing contemporary literature and art as well as re-invoking works from the public domain that we hear yearning for audiences in the present.
Our name is inspired by the plural chorus of ancient Greek drama, commenting on and propelling narrative. We love the perspectives of many-voicedness, the possibilities for resonance and tension afforded by paradoxes and entertaining conflicting ideas.
We believe in books as vessels of reverberation: places where structures, thought and text meet, shift frequency, and merge into something new every time you enter them.
All Chorus Press publications are released in carefully designed hand-bound and folded editions.

Golem Books
Golem Books is our series of handmade notebooks.
Like the Golem of Jewish Folklore, our notebooks are vessels awaiting a soul. They are incomplete without your thoughts inside them.
Each Golem Book is unique and made from at least 75% reused materials. We use only non-adhesive binding techniques: instead of glue, we rely on sewing, cutting, and folding to hold the books together.
We are happy to take custom orders or organize bookbinding workshops for you. Just contact us via our contact page.
