About

Counterpath is a venue for readings, exhibitions, and performances. It is located at 613 22nd Street near downtown Denver, Colorado. The space is also the main office for Counterpath Press, an independent, nonprofit, literary publisher founded in 2006, as well as the home of Counterpath Books, which carries titles published by small and independent presses.

Each of these organizations is intended to support communities of readers and artists who are interested in linguistic and visual interventions in contemporary global culture. Counterpath is driven by a broadly conceived mission and strives to encompass new conceptions of what compelling work can mean. It also strives to support writers and artists—including groups such as minorities and women—who are typically under-represented in such venues or media outlets.

Counterpath is committed to featuring and publishing work that is intellectually rigorous and of the highest quality, with the highest production values. The press is committed to publishing poetry, fiction, drama, cross-genre work, literary and cultural theory and criticism, translations, and reprints of out-of-print and hard-to-find titles.

Support for Counterpath comes from the sale of its publications, operation of its bookstore, grant funding from public and private sources, and from individual contributors.
