Announcing the publication of Pieter Lefferts’ “What The Kek Kek Saw”.

by Henry Stanton

” Pieter Lefferts’ “What The Kek Kek Saw” is a fascinating and moving fable from the complex imagined culture and society of the animals populating the Eastern Woodland ecosystems of The Adirondack Mountain Region of New York. This is UnCollected Press’s 2nd foray into fables from the animal kingdom, and we are very excited to be publishing this intricate and intensely relevant tale of a universal quest and journey to discovery. At its core, Pieter’s book is a call to all of us human animals to find a way to better listen to and understand our relationships with the other sentient beings on this planet – and to learn from our often wiser brethren. Pieter’s book is insightful, eloquent and important . We loved this expansive read and are sure you will also.

We are delighted to announce that we just published our 32nd book since we started producing books in 2019. (We have another 13 in the queue.) Here are some quotes from authors whose books have been recently published by UnCollected Press:

“the books arrived….they are beautiful ….the cover is so tactile….the choice of paper for the pages just elevates the books….we made a real objet d’ art….”

“Dear everyone, I’m very excited to announce that my chapbook is now available! It was a dream to work with UnCollected Press on this little chappy.”

“The books arrived and they look great–your painting works beautifully on the cover!”

“The covers galley is perfect!  It looks amazing – I have no corrections!”

“A friend posted that he was rereading my book, accompanied by a picture of it and one of his friends commented:  “Okay that is quite possibly the coolest design & title I have ever seen.  THAT makes me want to explore contents.”

Announcing the publication of “noli me tangere” by Vincent Zepp.

by Henry Stanton

” This book resonates with some of the most profoundly beautiful poetry I have read. There are poems in this volume that are astonishing in the artistry of their seemless integration of language, images and ideas. These are the poems of an accomplished artist and a compassionate, complex thinker. One of my most favorite UnCollect Press Books.” Henry Stanton, Publisher, UnCollected Press.
