About Stray Dog

Stray Dog Press is intended to be a home for the unheard of, the odd, the promising, the gonna-be, the might-have-been. We wish to publish the way that we read, without the limitation of genre, subject matter, or language. We prioritize both the personal and the international. We want translations, poetry, fiction, art, forgotten histories, collaborations, and cultural studies outside of the academic mold. We want what's current and what's hopelessly out of date. We want to make books that stand on their own, but also enrich each other by being a part of the same project.

Stray Dog Press, edited and founded by Nebraska native Elizabeth Clark Wessel, is based in Stockholm, Sweden and has two tongues: it's a bastard of the American Midwest and the Swedish capital.

Greetings Liz and Stray Dog Press:

Liz, it was great hearing you read this evening at the Crescent Moon. I had a grand time at the reading. It's always excellent to be in a new city and find a gem of a reading. As we discussed after the reading; perhaps I could send you some poems for your consideration for your fledgling press. I don't know if you're looking for individual poems, chapbooks, full manuscripts. I have two chapbooks (21-28 pages) making the rounds with presses. Either way, let me know your thoughts and I'd be happy to send some material your way.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
joseph kerschbaum
