Knucker Press

Knucker Press is a small press dedicated to publishing collaborations where word and image are mutually enriching. Established in 2007, its mission is to match writers – of both poetry and prose – with artists to produce high-quality and innovative books and pamphlets. The styles and formats are varied, but all are linked by the strength and sympathy of the artistic partnerships, creating works that are both unique and accessible.

Knucker is a dialect word for a water serpent or dragon that lives in a knuckerhole. There is a knuckerhole in Lyminster, Sussex, near the editor's former home. Reputedly bottomless or leading to the sea, it held a dragon - the Lyminster knucker - that was said to have been slain by a local lad, Jim Pulk or Jim Puttock.
