About The Rockingham Press
David Perman set up The Rockingham Press in 1991 to champion new and neglected poets and also Middle East poetry in translation. Since then Rockingham has published, on average each year, five paperback collections (always including a first collection) and one or two pamphlets.
Middle East titles have included Modern Turkish Poetry (a Poetry Book Society recommendation), Modern Persian Poetry, and works by Feyyaz Kayacan Fergar and Oktay Rifat.
Poets published by Rockingham include Judi Benson, Anne-Marie Fyfe, Adèle Geras, John Greening, James Kirkup, Jane Kirwan, Lotte Kramer, Sean Street, and Edward Storey.
Prose works have included the autobiography of William Oxley, No Accounting For Paradise, and a biography of John Scott, the Quaker poet friend of Dr. Johnson.
This year Rockingham is due to publish three poetry collections: Splintering the Dark by Wendy French, Lotte Kramer's eighth collection, Black Over Red, and a third Rockingham collection from American poet and anthologist, Judi Benson, entitled The Thin Places.
