Overview
Astrophil Press was founded in 2008 when duncan b. barlow invested his first university paycheck to publish a small collection of poems by David Gruber. Since its genesis in a Jacksonville, Florida sun room, Astrophil has worked slowly and quietly to publish young writers, established writers, and important books that have fallen out of print. The name Astrophil Press (derived from Phillip Sydney’s Astrophil and Stella) is a nod to the rich history of stylistic innovations in writing and in this spirit, we strive to publish work from a variety of aesthetic traditions that explore the possibilities of genre, form, and language. Simply put: Astrophil Press publishes books that explore the possibilities of language, form, and genre.
