Awen is an ancient and feminine Welsh word meaning 'inspiration' or intuitive knowledge, specifically that which inspires the bards, poets or soothsayers. Personified, Awen is the energetic muse of all creative folk, a divine inspiratrice or, perhaps in modern language: the flow state.
The mission of the press, is to publish beautiful books, combining the traditional printing skills of the arts and crafts, with contemporary words and images.
