CANCELED: AWP 2020 | Copper Canyon Press & Lambda Literary Showcase

Updated March 3, 2020: Please note that this event has been canceled.

After much deliberation, the team at Copper Canyon Press has decided not to attend the 2020 AWP conference in San Antonio. We made this difficult call out of an abundance of caution after consulting with each staff member who was scheduled to attend the conference, as well as numerous Copper Canyon poets and fellow exhibitors. You can read our full statement here.

Our friends at Lambda Literary will still be in attendance, and we encourage all conference-goers to support them by visiting them at bookfair booth #1420 and attending their other events.
