 Starcherone BooksWe publish innovative fiction -- writing that takes chances, that doesn't follow formula, and that regards fiction as an art form. We see ourselves existing as an antidote to mainstream publishing, and we keep books in print long enough to let their audiences develop. |

 The Bitter Oleander PressOur books represent the best of contemporary poetry published today in English and in translation. Even though our concentration is on contemporary poets in translation, we find some who have submitted work to our biannual journal for a lengthy period of time, to be the subject of a feature and then, if possible, a book of their work is considered for publication. We build on long-term relationships where the poetry meets our particular needs. |
