Shearsman

Shearsman

Shearsman Books Ltd is a specialist publisher of poetry, based in Bristol, England. We concentrate mainly on contemporary writing from Britain & Ireland, and the U.S.A. We also have a large, and growing translation list, with an emphasis on Hispanic and Latin American writing, and we have lists devoted to Classics and to Literary Criticism, the latter devoted to poetry. We tend to be interested in more experimental, radical forms of writing, but do not exclude the more traditional if we think it works. We sell through all channels including our own online store at www.shearsman.com.
