About Koa Books

“Life on this planet has become a race between consciousness and catastrophe.”
— Anthony Stevens, The Roots of War and Terror

When Arnie Kotler, founding director of Parallax Press, started Koa Books in 2005, Publishers Weekly noted, “Arnie has an unerring instinct for agents of change and he has been able to deliver their messages.”

Koa is the largest native Hawaiian forest tree, whose beautiful hardwood was traditionally used for making canoes and surfboards. The word “koa” in Hawaiian means fearless, or warrior.
