Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
We're an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit press based in Columbus, Ohio, dedicated to bringing experimental Kurdish writing to the world. Censorship and erasure within Kurdistan and abroad has stifled radical expression for generations. In the face of ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing, we believe in the power of literature to resist and reclaim our narrative. We aim to disentangle Kurdish literature from its reductive portrayal as simply stateless and foster a deeper awareness of its stories, art, and culture. Our books span fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction from both emerging and established writers from the homeland and diaspora.
