Graywolf Press, a non-profit publisher of literary fiction (non-profit: are there any other kind?), has had great success recently, the latest being that one its poets, Elizabeth Alexander, will be reading a poem at the inauguration. They also publish Norwegian writer Per Petterson, author of Out Stealing Horses.

The Boston Globe reports: “By the day it’s getting harder and harder to do what they do,” said Alexander, also a professor of African-American Studies at Yale University. “They’re building the most important, interesting and rich poetry list of any press anywhere. They’re putting out more literary fiction, not less. They’re small, but they keep finding ways to step it up.”
