MARISCAT presS Wins THE 2023 MICHAEL MARKS publishers’ AWARD
The judges said:
Two Mariscat pamphlets MX SIMP by Kate Hendry and Skin and Blister by Blake Morrison made it onto our shortlist for the Poetry Award. Their submission also included three other extraordinary and wonderful pamphlets. We were impressed by the consistently high standard of the poetry, and the individuality that shone through the presentation of each pamphlet even while it retained a Mariscat ‘feel’ (partly literally, as Mariscat pamphlets are very tactile objects). We also found the scrupulous attention paid to finding the right typeface for each pamphlet incredibly impressive (and a bit mad?!). What a wonderful Press.
