Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Founded in 1997, Perugia Press is a nonprofit feminist press that publishes one beautifully designed book each year: the winner of the Perugia Press Prize, our annual national contest for first or second books of poetry by women. Our mission is to celebrate and support women poets, inclusive of gender-expansive identities, in print and beyond. We aim to expand the audience for poetry by making books that welcome longtime readers of poetry and those new to poetry. We champion our poets, and poetry, whenever we can, through social media, and at local, regional, and national book fairs, readings, and events. We also maintain resources for educators for incorporating our books into their curricula. At Perugia Press, we are doing our part to tip the scales of gender inequity in poetry into balance.
