Our Publications

Since 1966, the International Poetry Forum has been involved in a variety of limited-edition and standalone publication projects featuring work by new and established voices in contemporary poetry.

Past initiatives have included direct publications under the International Poetry Forum's “Byblos Editions” imprint as well as collaborative publications with organizations like Random House, the University of Pittsburgh Press, and Mundus Artium, a journal of international literature and the arts.

Across these projects, the International Poetry Forum has been directly or indirectly involved in publishing poems by more than one dozen Nobel Laureates (including Vicente Aleixandre, Tomas Tranströmer, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, Boris Pasternak, and Odysseus Elytis) as well as greats like Federico García Lorca, W.H. Auden, Adonis, May Swenson, Fazıl Hüsnü Dağlarca, Dennis Scott, Denise Levertov, Maxine Kumin, Lucille Clifton, and W.S. Merwin.
