Fine printer - fine writer

By which I don't mean printers who write excellently about their craft or other bookish matters, there are many of those, but rather printers who are fine creative writers. I'll kick things off, below, with The Holy Place by Crispin Elsted.

What other suggestions do people have?

Jason Dewinetz of Greenboathouse Press (If the Winds Come) and Gray Zeitz of Larkspur Press (You Are Not Far From Here) come to mind.

>1 duncjl: sorry for not responding to your question and derailing the thread slightly, but the paper looks really nice. Does the colophon provide any further information?

Chad Oness (Sutton Hoo Press/The Last Press):

Runian, Bergamot Press, 1999.
Notes from the Hermitage, No Reply Press, 2025

and others not noted here.

>3 SebRinelli: That's perfectly ok; no colophon (it's just a keepsake) but the paper has the Ingres-Fabriano watermark.

Resurgence from Artichoke Press is a collection of poetry by Andrew Hoyem, founder of Arion Press, so may qualify for inclusion.

Desert Dreams by Lawrence G. Van Velzer.

Tower of the Winds by Lawrence G. Van Velzer and Peggy Gotthold.

Morris Cox's Whirligig was published before he set up his own press.

Not sure if it's fine press but I was reading about The Hogarth Press and how Virginia Woolf printed on a hand press.
