A new chapbook press dedicated to experimental Icelandic poetry & prose in translation…

Great Auk Books is a micropress founded by Icelandic to English literary translator Larissa Kyzer. Starting in spring 2027, Great Auk Books will publish limited edition chapbooks of Icelandic poetry and short prose in English translation, with a focus on work that is experimental in form, content, and/or production. Each Great Auk Books title will be selected and translated by Larissa Kyzer.

In addition to applying for grants and preparing a broader crowdfunding effort, I have an opened Bookshop.org affiliate page. I will earn a commission of 10% of the price of any book purchased via that page, so if you’d like to buy books for a good cause, please check out my curated book lists—including Icelandic poetry/prose and crime/horror/thrillers in English translation and Translators’ Women+ in Translation Reading Recs—or feel free to contact me and ask that I add a book to the page for you.
