About

After 29 titles in our chapbook series, 2016-2024, Magra Books is now launching a format of longer, 72-98 page, perfect-bound volumes. Magra will continue to present writers who are up to the all-encompassing challenge of books that strive to make “news that stays news.” Writers who are passionate about language, language that knows no borders.

Taking its name from the Magra River in the Lunigiana region of Tuscany, a watershed rising high in the Apennine and flowing southwest into the fabled Gulf of Poets, Magra will issue up to four books annually, in our new 5 x 8.5 inch format, highlighting poetry, prose, and works in translation. Select titles in our chapbook series remain, and we welcome inquiries as to their availability.

Our books may be purchased from www.magrabooks.com in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Editors: S.E. Pessin & Paul Vangelisti.

Magra Books is located somewhere between Los Angeles, California and Bagnone, Italy.
