Steerforth Press is pleased to announce its most recent venture -- Zoland Poetry -- an annual anthology of contemporary poetry from around the globe. Each book will be a compilation of original English language poems, work in English translation, and interviews and recent work by featured poets.
Two years ago, Steerforth Press acquired Zoland Books, the independent literary publishing house, founded by Roland Pease. During its fifteen-year existence, Zoland Books published literary fiction, poetry, and arts-related memoirs. A number of these books are still available as part of Steerforth's backlist. Zoland Books brought into print a wide range of poets including Ange Mlinko, Bill Berkson, Kevin Young, William Corbett, Lisa Jarnot, Patricia Smith and Anne Porter. Roland Pease is now the fiction and poetry editor at Steerforth Press.
