Founded in 1997, Perugia Press is a nonprofit feminist press supporting women poets, including all gender-expansive definitions of that term, in print & beyond. Founded in 1997, Perugia Press is a nonprofit feminist press publishing first and second books of poetry by women. Our mission is to support and celebrate women poets, including all gender-expansive definitions of that term, in print and beyond. Perugia Press, founded in 1997, is a nonprofit 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 support and promote women’s voices in print, and we aim to expand the audience for poetry by making books that welcome longtime readers of poetry and those new to poetry. We celebrate and promote 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 who would like to incorporate our books into their curricula. At Perugia Press, we are doing our part to tip the scales of gender inequity in poetry into balance.
