Waterloo Press are proud to present our latest volume, Bright, Dusky, Bright, a translation of Finnish poet Eeva-Liisa Manner (1921-1995), poet, playwright and translator. Manner was seen as one of the most influential modernists in postwar Finland. The work seemed to me to invite translation, because of its starkness, its simplicity even, and its extraordinarily powerful use of imagery. To read more about the volume, please click here |

Waterloo Press is an exciting niche publisher with a proven track record in producing high-quality volumes of poetry. It's already a co-winner in Staple's Alt-Gen niche poetry publisher competition. Individual collections too have been praised in Poetry Review, and by its 2002-05 editor Robert Potts and others for sheer beauty of production - as well as the contents! Some say there's been nothing like us since Trigram Press in the 1970s. That's heady, but we're delighted.
Waterloo Press is a non-profit making publishing house, originally dependant on its founder and main benefactor, Sonja Ctvrtecka, and a variety of funding sources. In November 2004 Waterloo received a major Arts Council Grant.
Our aims are threefold:
to promote regional poets on a national and international basis;
to promote established or long-neglected modern and modernist poets with a broad appeal on the same footing;
and to provide a forum for all those in a specially bound Arts bi-annual journal with the broadest appeal of all (Eratica).
