![]() As the barriers between cultures continue to come down and more and more authors are finding inspiration in foreign lands, there’s all the more reason for us all to read the world. Two Lines Press exists to give American readers the opportunity to read some of the great work from outside our borders that they would not otherwise get to see. In 1992, we added a translation series (Série d'Ecriture: current French writing in English translation), in 1994 a second one (Dichten=: current German-language writing in English translation). In 1984, Burning Deck merged with allART: Contemporary Arts Center, becoming the literature program of this non-profit organization. ![]() Though advertised as a 'quinterly', the magazine, after only four issues, gave way to a series of chapbooks and-later, in part with the help of NEA grants-books of poetry and occasionally of short fiction. Burning Deck Magazine disregarded this split and presented a spread of poets wide enough that occasionally an author complained of being published in such unprogrammatic compall. The two most widely noted anthologies of the time (Donald Allen's The New American Poetry and what was known as "The Hall-Pack-Simpson"), both representing the period 1945-1960, do not contain a single poet in common. In 1961, poets were supposed to be in opposing camps, often inelegantly-and inaccurately-labeled 'academics' and 'beats'. Launched in 2001, Fence Books publishes poetry, fiction, and critical texts and anthologies, and prioritizes sustained support for its authors, mall of whom come to us through our book contests and then go on to publish second, third, fourth books.īurning Deck began in 1961 as a little magazine. Fence is long-term committed to publishing from the outside and the inside of established communities of writing, seeking always to interrogate, collaborate with, and bedevil other systems that bring new writing to light. It is Fence‘s mission to encourage writing that might otherwise have difficulty being recognized because it doesn’t answer to either the mainstream or to recognizable modes of experimentation. ![]() Temple's regional list encompasses scholarly books, coffee table books, and books about art, culture, birding, fishing, hiking, sports teams, and the urban and suburban environments.įounded in 1998 by Rebecca Wolff, Fence is a biannual journal of poetry, fiction, art, and criticism that has a mission to redefine the terms of accessibility by publishing challenging writing distinguished by idiosyncrasy and intelligence rather than by allegiance with camps, schools, or cliques. Today, it continues in those fields and in newer ones such as disability studies, animal rights, criminology, gender and sexual identity, and sport and society. It became one of the first university presses to publish in what later became the fields of women's studies, ethnic studies-including Asian American and Latino studies, as well as African American Studies. Temple was an early publisher of books in urban studies, housing and labor studies, organizational reform, social service reform, public religion, health care, and cultural studies. The Press is perhaps best known as a publisher of books in the social sciences and the humanities, as well as books about Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley region. ![]() Contributor Copies, Token: <0.01/word, Semi-Pro: <0.14/wordįounded in 1969, Temple University Press chose as its inspiration Russell Conwell's vision of the university as a place of educational opportunity for the urban working class.
