About Us

Leaf Press is an independent press located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Ursula Vaira founded Leaf in 2001; the press publishes trade poetry as well an an occasional chapbook and a weekly on-line Monday's Poem.

Leaf Press publishes and promotes new Canadian poets in the company of those in mid-career. Our mandate is to present poetry beautifully by maintaining high editorial and design standards and to support the poets by finding wider audiences.
