Brass Tacks Press, based in Los Angeles, has published over 50 books of poetry, prose, and comics since it was founded in 2002 by poets Robert Campbell, Pablo Capra, and Richard McDowell.[1]
A focus of Brass Tacks Press has been to publish books about the "Lower Topanga" artists community (bulldozed to make way for a State Park in 2006), Malibu, and downtown LA.[2]
