Marick Press is a non-profit publishing house that was founded in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, in 2005. Mariela Griffor, founder and publisher, has won prizes in Europe, South America and the US for her poetry. Under Griffor's leadership Marick has attracted nationally and internationally known writers to its editorial staff, including Californian Ilya Kaminsky and Michigan poet Peter Markus. Marick published its first three books at a joint launch with the Detroit Institute of the Arts in April 2006.
Marick Press started with A Complex Bravery by Robert Lipton and The Sleeping by Caroline Maun. Lipton's book is a Pushcart Prize Nominee and Maun, on the English faculty of Wayne State University, has won the faculty's 2006 writing award for her book. Derick Burleson of Alaska, whose book Never Night was published by Marick in spring of 2008, won the Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry for his first book Ejo: Poems, Rwanda 1991-94. Burleson was a runner up for the Pulitzer Prize. Another of Marick's authors, Peter Conners, who has just published Emily Ate the Wind, is the Editor of BOA Editions, an historically important independent American press. Marick Press currently publishes 8 books a year under all of its imprints.
