The Crater Press has won the Michael Marks Awards for Poetry Pamphlets award for a UK publisher of poetry in pamphlet form, on the basis of their publishing programme in 2010.

Robert Hampson, Judge, commented:

“We three judges were heartened and impressed by the vitality and strength of character of all the small presses we shortlisted, and we are delighted to be awarding this year’s Publishers’ Award to the Crater Press. Crater take the traditions of book art and fine printing, and add to them a strong editorial line to produce pamphlets that are both traditional and avant garde, as well as startlingly original.”
