BOA EDITIONS, LTD. is a Pulitzer Prize-winning, not-for-profit publishing house that has received national acclaim for its work. Founded in 1976 by the late poet, editor and translator, A. Poulin, Jr., BOA has published more than 180 books of American poetry and poetry in translation. In 2007, the press began publishing fiction through its American Reader Series.
BOA's mission is to foster readership and appreciation of literature. We accomplish this by publishing both emerging and distinguished poets and writers in four distinct venues:
• American Poets Continuum Series. New poetry by distinguished poets in mid and late career.
• The A. Poulin, Jr. New Poets of America Series honors a poet's first book with publication and honorarium. The annual award is selected by an established American poet.
• Lannan Translations Selection Series. The Lannan Foundation of Santa Fe, New Mexico supports the publication of two new collections of contemporary international poetry annually. Selection is weighted to established poets living outside of the U. S. who have yet to publish a collection in English.
• The American Reader Series is a venue for literary fiction of the highest caliber. This series also features works of prose about poetry and poetics.
BOA's community of readers extends across North America. We believe in offering a diverse range of literature so to satisfy readers with different tastes and backgrounds. More than 1,000 libraries, schools, book stores and literary centers shelve BOA poetry books.BOA Editions 2008 Publications
