New Issues Poetry & Prose was a literary press specializing in poetry and literary fiction. Founded in 1996, the press closed submissions in 2021.[2]

History

[edit]

New Issues was founded by poet and Western Michigan University professor Herbert S. Scott, and run with support from the university.[3] Editors have included poets William Olsen and Nancy Eimers.[4]

The Huffington Post called New Issues Press one of fifteen small presses in the United States that "exemplify the best qualities of [the American] publishing tradition."[5] After a two-week vote, Huffington Post readers named New Issues number one in the country among the fifteen small presses cited.[5]

The press awarded two poetry prizes each year, The New Issues Poetry Prize for a first book of poetry, and The Green Rose Prize for established poets.[6][7]

The press has also published a number of prominent Michigan poets through its Inland Seas Poetry Series, including Jim Daniels, David Dodd Lee, Anthony Butts, Lee Upton, John Rybicki, and Mary Ann Samyn.

Other notable poets published by New Issues include Michael Burkard, Khaled Mattawa, Claudia Keelan, Lisa Lewis, Brian Henry, Jericho Brown, Sarah Messer, Ruth Ellen Kocher, Donald Platt, Rebecca Reynolds, Martha Serpas, Gladys Cardiff, Stacie Cassarino, and Patricia Jabbeh Wesley.

From 2004-2021 the press published the winning novels in the AWP Award Series in the Novel.

All New Issues titles were designed through The Design Center by senior graphic design students in the Frostic School of Art at Western Michigan University, under the supervision of Art Director, Nick Kuder [8] and Production Manager, Paul Sizer.
