Attention
What comes into view?

Reconsidering what we value.
Literature that reveals something familiar in a different light.
Our mission
Attention changes the argument.
Copper Mill Press is the imprint of Thomas McOsker, for writing that reveals overlooked forms of value. Its origins lie in Puerto Rico’s coffee highlands; its editorial interests reach across places, people, and systems.
Copper Mill Press is not accepting submissions.
