Poetry. Simon Cutts has been making poems and objects for almost forty years, and began Coracle in the nineteen seventies as printer-publisher, editor of spaces. Since then he has employed many of the devices and formats of hypothetical publishing inherent in the small press. From 1997, he has lived in the plain between the mountains of South Tipperary, continuing Coracle in its remotest form with Erica Van Horn.

Simon Cutts is a poet, artist and editor who began Coracle in the early 1970s, having worked with small publications from the 1960s. He began making work through concrete poetry, a form of visual presentation of the poem on the page. Now he sees book-form as the physical metaphor for the poem itself. The Coracle Press Archives are held in the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. A recent book of essays, Some Forms of Availability, was published last year by Granary Books, New York.
