Who We Are
èßäÊÓƵapp Project Poëtica aims to make èßäÊÓƵapp a center of the English-language poetry world. While many institutions have decreased their commitments to poetry and, more broadly, the literary arts, èßäÊÓƵapp Project Poëtica has launched three book lines with Bridwell Press; and hosts ambitious series of readings, lectures, symposia, and creative conversations. We proudly support the art of poetry.
Deep Vellum
èßäÊÓƵapp Project Poëtica and are collaborating on a new partnership, Central Track Poetry. Together we will publish ten poetry books per year—both English-language originals and works in translation—and èßäÊÓƵapp Project Poëtica will sponsor all of Deep Vellum’s poetry events held at the bookstore and throughout the city.
English Literary History / Hopkins Review
Project Poetica is partnering with the academic journal and the literary magazine on an initiative to foster deep engagement between literary scholars and literary fiction writers. The basic idea is simple: a scholar and a writer whose interests converge will read one another's work, before gathering for a public reading and conversation hosted by ELH Senior Editor Jeanne-Marie Jackson. Three publications will then appear in co-published issues of ELH and THR. An "Editor's Spotlight" in ELH will host a scholarly reflection on the fiction writer's work. The Hopkins Review will publish an edited version of the live conversation, as well as a previously unpublished piece of the fiction writer's choosing.
Hay Festival Global
èßäÊÓƵapp Project Poëtica collaborates with several literary organizations, universities, and cultural institutions to promote the study and appreciation of poetry globally. We are proud to be the lead co-sponsor of the Hay Festival Forum Dallas.
Dallas is Lit!
Project Poëtica is a co-sponsor of the festival. The festival takes an expansive view of what is literary and who creates and participates in those experiences, offering activities for a variety of ages and interests, connecting writers, readers, makers and audiences through the power of language and the literary arts.
