The Oscar Lewis Awards

Please join us in congratulating the recipient of the
2013 Oscar Lewis Award for Book Arts:

Carolee Campbell

Carolee Campbell founded Ninja Press in 1984. Primarily focused on contemporary poetry, all Ninja Press books, broadsides, and keepsakes are designed, handset in metal type, printed letterpress, and bound by Carolee. Her work is heavily influenced both by her extensive experience as a photographer and by her career as a distinguished actor. From the outset, one of Ninja Press’s primary mandates has been to strive for the highest standards of excellence in craftsmanship and quality while exploring new approaches to the union between word, image, and book structure. More about Ninja Press may be found at www.ninjapressbooks.com
