Shabda is the Sanskrit word for “sound, speech.” Shabda is the sound current vibrating in all creation referred to as the Audible Life Stream, Inner Sound, and Word. Founded in June 2011 by Teresa Mei Chuc, Shabda Press‘ mission is to bring forth the diverse, luminous words and sounds of new, emerging, and established voices. Shabda Press is a small, independent press that publishes a few books of poetry a year in print, ebook and audio format (poetry cds). Shabda Press is part of the Coast to Coast Poetry Press Collective, a collective of four small presses, two east of the Mississippi River and two west of the Mississippi River who support each other in sharing and distributing poetry across the country.
