2Leaf Press is an underdog of a press that stays true to the possibilities of American letters and world literature. Supporting presses like 2Leaf offers a way to expand the literary canon that has often been aimed at a diverse range of writers, instead of including them. As the press grows, we can only expect an array of poems, fiction, and nonfiction that will elevate the stories that need to be told and heard by everyone.
