Etruscan Press is an American publisher founded in 2001 with a grant from the Oristaglio Foundation. A non-profit co-operative of poets and writers, Etruscan Press' goal is to "produce and promote books that nurture the dialogue among genres, achieve a distinctive voice, and reshape the literary and cultural histories of which we are a part." Currently housed in the creative writing program of Wilkes University and partnered with Youngstown State University, Etruscan Press is distributed nationally by Consortium Distribution and Small Press Distribution.
Etruscan Press publishes books of poems, novels, short stories, creative non-fiction, criticism, translation, and anthologies. Three poetry collections have been National Book Award finalists; one title was chosen as the Poetry Society of America’s First Book Award, and three poems have been chosen for Best American Poetry.
"Promoting literacy in our schools:
The Etruscan Press Educational Outreach program brings acclaimed authors to work with under-served students in area high schools, increasing the literacy of the students and offering a general appreciation for the literary arts.
Etruscan Press Outreach was developed to:
Expand cultural and literary awareness of students in Northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania
Demonstrate a love of literature to young people
Promote intercultural acceptance and understanding
Prepare under-served students for success in college
Promote literacy and love of reading
The Educational Outreach Program serves communities surrounding the two geographical hubs for Etruscan Press: Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio and Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania."
