Bad Press

Bad Press is a publisher of poetry, writings and essays, based in Toronto. It was founded in Cambridge in 2003 by Marianne Morris. For some years of Bad Press's history, Morris was joined on the editorial board by Jo L. Walton and Jonathan Stevenson. Walton went on to found Sad Press.

Bad Press writers use new performance practices, digital technology and networking with a playfulness in adopting conservative, pre-British Poetry Revival registers to expand the writer's modernist toolkit.

It should be distinguished from another Bad Press, which also published poetry, whose address was P.O. Box 76, Manchester M21 8HJ.[1]
