I do not know why our colleagues are complaining about not getting
collections published beyond 60-odd pages. Poetry Salzburg (formerly
University of Salzburg Press) has published a wide variety of poets,
collections ranging from 70 to 700 pages (both Collected and Selected).
Last year we published 45 books, distributed by Drake International (GB)
and International Specialized Book Services (USA) as well as companies in
Australia and South Africa. Okay, we do not have the money to advertise
them widely, but we do what we can. Now I run the press on my own without
any financial support from arts bodies or the University (We never had any
financial support from the University). We also had to reduce the number of
books to be published in 1999, but we will publish at least 6 substantial
collections.
