Under the helm of series editor Kwame Dawes and in partnership with the Calabash International Literary Festival Trust, the Caribbean Poetry Book Series: Calabash seeks to publish works of Caribbean poetry written in, and translated to, English. With a wide-ranging scope, this series highlights excellent poetry books by Caribbean poets at various stages of their literary careers. From publishing winners of the annual Neville Dawes First Book Prize for Emerging Caribbean Poets to publishing canonical Caribbean authors, this series looks to rectify a gap in the US publishing landscape by creating a publishing home committed to poetry by Caribbean poets. This series is published in collaboration with the University of Nebraska Press.
The University of Nebraska Press has been a home for similar successful partnerships, particularly the African Poetry Book Series through which poetry by African poets has been published for a decade in collaboration with the African Poetry Book Fund.
