Paris Press was founded by poet Jan Freeman in 1995 in order to bring Muriel Rukeyser's THE LIFE OF POETRY back into print. The Press's mission is to publish literature by women that has been overlooked by the commercial and independent publishers, and to educate the public about this essential literature.
Paris Press's tag line is "daring and beautiful books," and we place special emphasis on essential and groundbreaking content, as well as beautiful design. Our distinguished titles include Muriel Rukeyser's The Life of Poetry; Open Me Carefully: Emily Dickinson's Intimate Letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson; Ruth Stone's National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Ordinary Words; Sisters: An Anthology; Zdena Berger's Tell Me Another Morning; Jan Freeman's Simon Says, Adrian Oktenberg's Bosnia Elegies, Virginia Woolf's On Being Ill with Notes from Sick Rooms by Julia Stephen, and other groundbreaking books.
