Sarabande Books is a nonprofit literary press founded in March
1994, in Louisville, Kentucky. Our focus is on poetry and short fiction,
genres that in the recent past have received less than generous attention
from the mainstream publishing industry. In an effort to mediate that
imbalance and to nurture good writing, Sarabande Books works to provide
talented authors with a final product and visibility, in short, a real
“home” for their work. About
our staff & About our internship program.
First titles appeared June 1996 in beautiful, four-color, simultaneous paperback
and cloth-bound editions. We now publish between eight and ten new volumes
per year. We’re convinced that quality book design contributes
to a literary work’s value and are committed to keeping our titles
in print. About our
designers.
Our Board of Advisors comprises a distinguished group of writers and
publishers, as well as an independent bookseller: Nana Lampton, Tess
Gallagher, Louise Glück, Nan Graham, Richard Howorth, Bobbie Ann
Mason, A. Poulin, Jr. (1994-96), and Shannon Ravenel.
The Sarabande is a gracious, elegant dance with a sensual, wild underside:
gracious and elegant thanks to the Germans and French, sensual and wild
thanks to its origins as an Aztec mating ritual. Sarabande Books looks
for work that is, like the dance, both graceful and provocative.
