Wolverine Farm Publick House

Wolverine Farm Publick House is something more than a bookstore, a nonprofit literary arts center in downtown Fort Collins that weaves together bookselling, publishing, letterpress printing, and community gathering into a single, vibrant space. Since 2005, the organization has been a vital force in Northern Colorado's creative community, publishing its own literary journal, hosting readings and workshops, and maintaining a bookstore that champions small presses and independent voices with the passion of true believers. The letterpress studio in the back of the space offers workshops where community members learn the tactile art of setting type and printing by hand, creating a direct connection between the making of literature and the selling of it. The poetry section is curated with the care of an institution that publishes poets, and the Colorado authors shelf spotlights regional voices that might otherwise go unheard. The coffee house atmosphere is warm and convivial, with mismatched furniture, local art on the walls, and the constant hum of creative conversation. Wolverine Farm proves that a bookstore can be the engine of an entire literary ecosystem.
