We love Hesse Press, and not just because we are mildly to moderately obsessed with its co-founder, the beautiful and brainy Clare Kelly, who along with her partner John Wiese, launched the press last year (what’s it called when you’re just one single solitary person but you use the word “we” like a psycho?).
