A January
posting from
Publishers Weekly praises Minneapolis' Coffee House Press for its recent accomplishments amid a change in leadership.
Two of its fall 2011 releases,
Leaving the Atocha Station, a first novel by Ben Lerner and
Song I Sing, a debut poetry collection from Bao Phi, “have been published to critical acclaim in major media publications," it states.
“
Leaving the Atocha Station,”
PW writes, “landed with the sort of bang that most book publishers can only dream of,” with a lengthy and positive review in the
New Yorker.
It’s also been talked about in the
New York Review of Books, National Public Radio’s “Fresh Air” show,
The Guardian,
Wall Street Journal,
Forbes, and
Foreign Policy.
