Welcome to Korrektiv Press!
Korrektiv Press rose from the primordial soup of a blog inspired by the spirit of Kierkegaard and Walker Percy. (The press takes its name from Kierkegaard’s effort to provide a “korrektiv” to Hegel’s philosophy of world-historical forces, asserting against those forces the significance and worth of the individual.) Korrektiv, the blog, appeared in 2004, and the press emerged miraculously from a melding of it and Godsbody in the aftermath of the great lightning storm of 2010.

Coming June 4, 2022: Scarecrow Oracle: Poems by Mark Anderson
Cover art by Tiffany Patterson
Mark Anderson is the oracle of memory and longing, of hide-a-beds and rusted Chevys. And these poems show him writing with his trademark sense of wonder and humor and place. I really enjoyed this collection.
—Jess Walter, author of The Cold Millions
Tulips for Elsie: Poems by Jonathan Potter
Mr. Potter’s given us a bold adventurous book with plenty of sharp turns at high speed, with some gestures toward Neruda and Merwin but also “Sk8,” a gr8 skateboarding poem, and sonnets, and brave ventures into rhymed verse, poems for friends and relatives, “Stopping by Blogs on a Frosty Evening,” and poems of passionate love with angels looking down from above. Plus tulips and Elsie.
—Garrison Keillor
