Mission Statement

Although small among university presses in the United States, we are the major publisher of Irish poetry in North America. Noted scholar Helen Vendler of Harvard University commented: "Through the Wake Forest University Press, Ireland comes to America."

We pride ourselves on the quality of our publications and are committed to keeping our titles in print.

We frequently act as booking agent for our authors, and we arrange reading tours for them throughout North America. Should you be interested in a WFU Press poet visiting your institution or city, please contact us.

For over a decade, WFUP also published bilingual editions of contemporary French poetry, with the late French scholar Germaine Bree as French Series Editor. Although these French titles are in print and available, further publications of the series have been discontinued.

At Wake Forest University Press, we give customers the special attention that only a small, independent publisher can provide. We have no sales reps out "in the field," we have no vast acres of anonymous titles. We do have a friendly staff who are very familiar with our books and authors, and who are eager to help you with your order, whether you're a wholesaler, a retailer, or an individual.
