MISSION
OOMPH! is an international literary press publishing contemporary poetry and short prose in translation. Editors Daniel Beauregard and Alex Gregor founded the press in Buenos Aires in 2014 with one aim in mind — to find new literature written in countries around the world and facilitate its translation into English. The editorial team currently works in Argentina and Italy to realize this goal as part of a larger mission to encourage cross-cultural and -linguistic exchange.
WHO WE ARE
OOMPH! is an independent publishing press run by two poets. We are a small organization funded out of our own pockets and supported by our readers. The best way to help us continue our work is to order one of our book bundles or make a donation.
