Publications
Ugly Duckling Presse (UDP) focuses on new, international, and "forgotten" writers and specializes in projects that may be difficult to produce at other presses. Formats produced include full-length books, chapbooks, and broadsides. These formats, along with UDP's magazine and newspaper, all contain handmade elements. The Presse states that these, "call attention to the labor and history of bookmaking".
Past publications include Nets by Jen Bervin, erasure poetry of Shakespeare's sonnets, Poker by Tomaž Šalamun (which was a finalist for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation) and works by New York based writers Steve Dalachinsky and Lewis Warsh. The Presse also publishes a regular series of translations of Eastern European poetry. Publications include works by Czech poet Ivan Blatný and Russian conceptualists Dmitri Prigov and Lev Rubinstein.
In collaboration with various visual and performance artists, Ugly Duckling Presse also creates "paperless" works. These may be performed, or produced through media such as digital video, CD, or tree bark.
