Spork Press
Spork Press is a small press in Tucson, Arizona edited and constructed by Richard Siken, Drew Burk, Andrew Shuta, Joel Smith, and Jake Levine.

Shuta and Joel and Jake have gone, and Siken had a stroke, and so it's just Drew sitting in their new(ish) spot off Broadway in Tucson, figuring out what the heck to do. What they're (he is?) doing is publishing Matt Roar's book of skate poetry ''My War'', and the collaborative book by Felicity Fenton and Drew Burk ''Elegy for My Art Monster'', and seeing what's what.
