Who we are

Named after the nefarious Inner Southeast neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, Buckman Publishing prints the arts & literary anthology Buckman Journal,  alongside books of all genres. Sending scouts deep into the bustling local literature and arts scene, Buckman finds the best, and delivers it with grit & shrewd design.
