siglio last participated in Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair way back in 2019, so we’re very pleased to be back this year.
Find us at table A14 in “the 950 building.” We’ll be featuring the dozen books we’ve published since then, along with an assortment of ephemera (including the poster for the marathon reading of Memory last July), and postcards announcing our two new 2025 titles! As usual, books will be discounted 20-30%.
It’s been a long time—pop by to say “hello”!

In celebration of the exhibition (through July 26, 2025) “After Words: Visual and Experimental Poetry in Little Magazines and Small Presses, 1960–2025,” Granary Books is hosting a round table discussion focusing on how visual and avant-garde works are produced and distributed, how they might appear in our teaching or scholarly practices, and what the physical manifestation and presentation of these works can tell us about their creation, political and cultural positioning, and the constellations of poets involved.
