Lisa Rappoport

Lisa Rappoport began printing in 1997 under the imprint Trouser Press, and changed the name to Littoral Press a couple of years later. Being a book artist and letterpress printer feels like the ideal blend of words and image, craft and physical labor for this dedicated artist. The work of the press concentrates on poetry but includes many genres. Lisa teaches letterpress printing and bookbinding at the San Francisco Center for the Book.
