Cargo Press has a growing list of poetry and belles lettres titles, most of them limited editions, for the general reader as well as collectors. The excellent texts are matched by the quality of production. We have established a unique association with visual artists working on each book. The images are juxtaposed to interrogate the text.

Cargo has already attracted praise in the international press:

'These Cornish-based Cargo Press booklets are beautifully produced: limited editions with a hand-made feel, clear layout, a bold print-face, the publishing equivalent perhaps of Leach pottery. One forgets how rare it is these days to come across poetry books that are fine objects in themselves.'  Peter Bland in the London Magazine

Steps by Ian Hamilton: 'A beautifully produced, limited edition pamphlet ...'
Vernon Scannell in the Sunday Telegraph Œ

'...the book's production is as beautiful as its subject...'   Ian MacNiven in Deus Loci
