Something to look forward to!In a few short months (it is the summer, after all) you can add to your collection of Penrose Press projects with something totally unique. We're making a scroll with Jasmine Gui's heart-stopping poetry and Brianna's careful illustrative support. The poetry is dealing with grief and other existential questions so it may not be for everyone, but for some of you it may be a balm, a witness to your own feelings too big to process.
Nothing is set in stone at this point but you should expect a launch in late September. If you want to be sure not to miss out on pre-order and event notifications, scroll to the bottom of this page and send us your email. We'll remind you of all the good stuff! |
We make really pretty books.Welcome Reader,
Please feel free to peruse our tiny library of published works. You'll find such up and coming names as Tristen, and Abrahams, as well as some portraits of caterpillars and letters to Frida. Click on any of the images to learn more, or see them all in the bookshop. Sincerely, Brianna and Natalie |

Penrose Press is an alternative Canadian publishing house with a mandate to treat emerging works of poetry and fiction like special releases of international bestsellers. Creative Director Brianna Tosswill and Editor Natalie Lythe co-founded the imprint in 2017 and have since launched eight titles. We help emerging arts-industry workers in Canada and in doing so, create a community of interconnected artists, writers, photographers, editors, designers and curators. We publish limited editions of handmade illustrated books twice per year.
