New and Forthcoming Titles
Subject Area: Poetry & Literature
A historic home for vibrant voices in poetry and prose. Since the press’s earliest days at our home in the Ozarks, we’ve served as an outpost of literary excellence both in the area and in the international community of letters. Cofounded by acclaimed poet Miller Williams, the University of Arkansas Press is home to some of the language’s most celebrated writers, including Billy Collins, Frank Stanford, Ellen Gilchrist, and John Williams. We continue our search for poetry, memoirs, novels, essays, and collections that vivify, problematize, and delight, all the while pursuing greater representation and inclusion in our authorship and a heightened connection to traditionally underserved and underappreciated readerships.
