It was during this period that he began the Alan Swallow Press imprint and conducted publication activities on his own accord.[1] After his two-year stint at the university, he moved to acting as an Assistant Professor for English classes at Western State College from 1942 to 1943. From 1943-1945 he served as a Sergeant during the end years of World War II. Returning to academic life in 1946, Swallow began a new assistant professorship at the University of Denver, becoming associate professor in 1948. The period of 1947 through 1953 saw him acting as director of the University of Denver Press, alongside setting up the university's creative writing doctoral program with John Edward Williams. In his later years, he was a member of the Western Writers of America and Denver Westerners. He was vice chairman of the Colorado branch of the American Civil Liberties Union from 1961-1962 and chairman from 19631964. First founded in March 1940, Alan Swallow Press originally focused on publishing poetry and literary fiction.The first simple publication, done on an old handpress and some purchased type fonts, was an anthology of pieces written by fellow students in Swallow's mentor group and titled Signets: An Anthology of Beginnings.[3] Some of the press's later and more well-known publications included several short novels by Janet Lewis and several novels by Anaïs Nin. The imprint also published authors through the magazine Swallow had begun in his sophomore year of university called Sage, and through it he introduced local Western authors to print, including works by Muriel Sibell Wolle. After Swallow's death, his imprint began working with Ohio University in 1979 and obtained a financial licensing agreement to enable Alan Swallow Press to reissue several of the aforementioned works. The Ohio University Press fully acquired the imprint in 2008, along with rights to use the Swallow name in future publications.
