Eulalia Books publishes contemporary poetry from Latin America—specifically, by writers whose work has not yet appeared in a full-length English translation. We believe that poetry thrives outside the margins of privilege, and we love translators who work on the ground to find these books.

Our full-length books introduce Latin American poets (writing in a variety of languages) to an English readership, while foregrounding the role of translators as artists and collaborators. Our letterpress chapbook series, focused on experimental translations and translingual writing, is dedicated to a vital discourse on translation, language/s, and translation poetics.

Learn more about us here and here.

Translators, check for our open reading periods and for updated submission guidelines here. For updates, join our mailing list, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Retailers and Libraries, please contact our distributor, Asterism, for orders and inquiries.

Eulalia Books is an independent publisher fiscally sponsored by Saint Vincent College and staffed in part by faculty and students. To do the work we do, we rely entirely on sales and private donations; please consider making a tax-exempt donation of any amount here.

Student Interns & Volunteers

Students attending Saint Vincent College have the opportunity to intern with Eulalia Books. Interns aid the press in all aspects of operations from social media to event planning to grant writing. The press would be deeply hindered without their support, charisma, and hard work.
