About the Press

Founded in 1972 as Three Rivers Press, a publisher of poetry, Carnegie Mellon University Press’ particular strength continues to lie in literary publishing with the following series:

• Carnegie Mellon Poetry Series
• Carnegie Mellon Classic Contemporaries Series (the reissuing of significant early books by important contemporary poets and writers of short fiction)
• Carnegie Mellon Series in Translation
• Carnegie Mellon Series in Short Fiction
• Poets in Prose Series (titles have included memoir in the form of poets writing about their writing lives, poetry criticism, and the epistolary novel).

The Press also publishes in art, music, the performing arts, critical analysis, education, University history, and social history. Additionally, Carnegie Mellon has an emerging program in the publishing of texts related to entertainment technology. Carnegie Mellon is unique among American universities in offering interactive studies in the fine arts and computer technology.
