Miami University Press
Beginning in 1992, Miami University Press brought out two books of poems each year by poets who had already had at least one full-length collection of poetry published. The series has featured such mid-career poets as Ralph Angel, whose Neither World won the 1995 James Laughlin Award of The Academy of American Poets. Hugh Seidman’s Selected Poems: 1965-1995 won a 1995 Critics’ Choice Award and was chosen as one of the Village Voice’s “25 Favorite Books of 1995.”
In 2004 (under the leadership of Editor/English Department Chair Keith Tuma) the Miami University Press entered a new era, marked by the introduction of a new fiction series, beginning with Marianne Villanueva’s collection of short stories, Mayor of the Roses.
The Press continued its publication of fine poetry in 2005 with Rainbow Darkness: an anthology of African American poetry. The anthology grew from poems and talks presented at the Marjorie Cook Conference on Diversity in African American Poetry held at Miami University in September 2003. The anthology hopes to extend the conversations that took place at the conference to another, larger audience.
The press also sponsors a novella contest.
