Who We Are

Adonis Designs Press is a small independent book publisher. We are based in Phoenix, Arizona, and previously in the land of Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois, hometown to poets Vachel Lindsay and Robert Fitzgerald.

Our mission is to bring to print the poetry, art, and words of those who we feel need to have their voice and words in print to the benefit of others.

With that being said, we are eclectic in taste and always looking to support those who we feel need to have their words or art in print to the benefit of others.
