The guy who wrote that obnoxious article for the Huffington Post about the most overrated writers in the world partially redeems himself today by naming the University of Wisconsin Press as one of the most innovative university presses in the nation. He specifically mentions and praises the following: the Press's Wisconsin Studies in Autobiography; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; Living Out: Gay and Lesbian Autobiography series; Studies in Dance History; George L. Mosse Series in Modern European Cultural and Intellectual History; and The History of American Thought and Culture.( Click on the link above for specific recommended titles.)
We would only add to that impressive list the Press's Brittingham and Pollak Prizes in Poetry series edited by our own Ron Wallace. Pictured above is the 2010 winner of the Britingham Prize, Jennifer Boydon's The Mouth of Grazing Things.
