Founded in 1977, Sheep Meadow is a non-profit press dedicated to poetry, poets, and books of particular interest to poets. Sheep Meadow is attracted to poets of great merit who for one reason or another have been turned away from commercial publishers.
Among the more than 200 books that Sheep Meadow has published are works by Stanley Kunitz, Hayden Carruth, F.T. Prince, Stephen Berg, Alberto Rios, Bruce Smith, Christopher Middleton, Edward Field, Arthur Gregor, Rangi McNeil, Diana Der-Hovanessian, Kathryn Starbuck, Rebecca Seiferle, Raza Ali Hasan, Cleopatra Matthis, Tory Dent, and Aliki, Tony, and Willis Barnstone, as well as translations of Yehuda Amichai, Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Federico García Lorca, Miguel Hernandez, Claire Malroux, Dahlia Ravikovitch, Yona Wallach, Pierre Martory, Cesar Vallejo, Manuel Bandeira, Luis Cernuda, and Fernando Pessoa. Among our translators are John Ashbery, Marilyn Hacker, Edwin Honig, Richard Zenith, David Tabbat, Reginald Gibbons, David Slavitt, Ted Hughes, and Yehuda Amichai translating himself.
Sheep Meadow Press books are distributed by The University Press of New England and available for sale on their website.
