The Untide Press, founded in 1943, attempted to bring poetry to the public in an inexpensive but attractive format.
Writers included William Everson, Glen Coffield, Jacob Sloan, George Woodcock, John Walker, and Kenneth Patchen.
[2] William Everson said that "those of us of Untide rank among our biggest moments in CPS the completion of a book, and the very real sense of achievement it occasions.
"[4] The press produced the Illiterati magazine on an erratic schedule, and published several small books of poems.
[1] The last book produced at the Untide Press in Waldport was Kenneth Patchen's An Astonished Eye Looks Out Of the Air, printed via letterpress in 1945 as the war was ending.
