Editorial Focus
What Books Press was founded in 2009 to create an outlet for groundbreaking fiction, poetry, and translation. The editors are strongly committed to new, innovative, and underrepresented writing that challenges both formal boundaries and the pressing social and political issues of the time. All WBP books feature cover art by the renowned painter, printmaker, and performance artist, Gronk Nicandro.
