Organizations Filed Purposes:
COFFEE HOUSE PRESS CREATES NEW SPACES FOR AUDIENCES AND ARTISTS TO INTERACT, INSPIRING READERS AND ENRICHING COMMUNITIES BY EXPANDING THE DEFINITION OF WHAT LITERATURE IS, WHAT IT CAN DO, AND WHO IT BELONGS TO.
COFFEE HOUSE PRESS HAS ONE PROGRAM SERVICE: THE PUBLICATION OF BOOKS THAT FULFILL OUR MISSION. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE PROGRAM PUBLISHED 17 BOOKS, 8 NOVELS, 1 MEMOIR, 2 ESSAYS, 1 SHORT STORY COLLECTION, AND 5 POETRY COLLECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WE REPRINTED AND MAINTAINED A BACKLIST OF OVER 362 WORKS. THE AUTHORS OF THESE BOOKS INCLUDE AFRICAN AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, LATIN AMERICANS, AND EUROPEAN AMERICANS. MANY WRITERS ON THE BACKLIST WERE LIVING IN MINNESOTA AT THE TIME OF THE PUBLICATION OR LIVING OUTSIDE THE BORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES. THEIR PERSPECTIVES TRAVERSE THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE AND ILLUSTRATE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES WHILE PRESENTING LITERATURE TO THE WORLD. SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS THIS PAST YEAR INCLUDE THE PUBLICATION OF NAJA MARIE AIDT'S WHEN DEATH TAKES SOMETHING FROM YOU GIVE IT BACK, WHICH WAS A FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE IN NONFICTION AND LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN TRANSLATED LITERATURE. WE ALSO LAUNCHED OUR COFFEE HOUSE WRITERS PROJECT, WHICH COMMISSIONED NEW SHORT LITERARY PIECES FROM WRITERS WHO HAD LOST WORK (SUCH AS SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS) DUE TO COVID-19, FACILITATING THE CREATION OF NEW WORK AND THE EXPANSION OF THEIR ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND INSPIRING ENGAGEMENT FROM READERS DURING THE CHALLEGING EARLY MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC.
