Ed Arantus started the UK Chapbook Chart in 2015. He was fascinated by the lovely little publications he could pick up for a few pounds in London, where he lived. Ed and I met while exhibiting our Art and have been friends ever since. I took over duties here 3 years ago and have been updating the chart since then. It has now come the time to step back and pursue other creative passions. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. The UK indie poetry scene is flourishing, so keep collecting those chapbooks!
