Pamphlets by Vida Cruz-Borja and Camila Grudova

Translation, Poetry, Craft, Nature

Calque Press is a small and occasional publisher of pamphlets, short-length books and anthologies. We work at the intersection between languages, ideas, different crafts and genres. Fiction, poetry, essays, ekphrasis, and art, that often emerge from the margins, creating unexpected connections and experimental visions/versions of our world.

Calque: A loan-translation, especially one resulting from bilingual interference.

Pre-Order: Ragged Band of Travellers
