At the Threshold

Silhouette of a paw print with five toes and a large pad

Yawning Fox Press follows the quiet paths where primal forces menace the edges of civilization and something astonishing stirs just out of sight.

We bring into the world extraordinary books that honor the text through thoughtful design and careful stewardship.

We are especially drawn to writing that:

  • traces fault lines between the feral and the tame

  • unsettles familiar stories of human dominance over nature

  • revives lost ecological wisdom and ancestral ways of knowing

  • imagines new ways of belonging within the living world

  • speaks in chorus with foxes, rivers, fungi, and fog

At Yawning Fox Press, we publish work with a keen eye, a finely-tuned ear, and a vivid imagination to remind us that the world is larger, wilder, and more remarkable than we might allow ourselves to believe.

First Book Arrives in 2027

We create chapbooks, essays, folios, and books in digital and print media.

Led by an international editorial board of writers, artists, and dreamers, Yawning Fox is small by design—meticulous, deliberate, and unabashedly drunk on words.
