Dithering Chaps Press - Blog
Dithering Chaps is proud to be an independent poetry publisher, based in Dorset, devoting our time to identifying contemporary poetry that deserves to be heard. You can read more about us here.
As an independent UK poetry chapbook publisher, we know the UK poetry scene is flourishing. This blog offers a glimpse behind the scenes of our small press.
