Hand-made Books

The Hardscrabble Press is a micro-press dedicated to publishing beautiful books that are designed, printed, and bound at the press. It is also the letterpress studio of poet Keagan Hawthorne.

Located in Mi'kma'ki at Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, we use both letterpress and digital methods of making our limited-edition chapbooks.
