Since 1997, Perugia Press has published one book a year: the winner of the Perugia Press Prize for first or second books of poetry by women. Our goal is to help right gender inequity in publishing, one excellent book at a time. Purchase directly from our bookshop below, or place bookstore, library, and international orders through our distribution partner, Asterism Books.
Perugia Press donates 5% of our book sales at year-end to organizations which support literary arts and community for writers who are Black, Indigenous, and women of color, inclusive of gender-expansive identities. In 2026-2027, buying our books supports us as well as these selected orgs: Center for New Americans, Interlink Foundation, and Indigenous Nations Poets.
Commemorating Perugia’s twentieth anniversary and the move forward into its third decade, this chapbook features a poem from each of the press’s first twenty books. Brilliance, Spilling celebrates the depth and breadth of Perugia Press’s catalog.
