Plain View Press gives contemporary voice to a far-flung community
of humane and passionate writers and readers.

Plain View Press is a community of writers, poets, artists, readers and activists who, together and individually, do amazing work. Whether political or community activists; teachers, professors, researchers, retired, or working, they write poetry and prose dedicated to the legacy of the written word. We wrap their work in a fine art cover.

“Despite evidence that relentless violence has taken root worldwide,
there is hope and there are artists to show the human face of it.”
