Books are physical instruments in a chorus of intelligence at once ancient and avant garde. Perelandra exists to keep the chorus wild.
We love work that resists easy classification. Our collections of poetry, scholarship, and art books are particularly robust, but we are no less devoted to narrative, nature, politics and myth. The Wild Carrot Society, our quarterly book subscription, is an ode to the sublime.
In addition to housing literature, Perelandra hosts the Reader in Residence, the first artist residency dedicated to reading itself as a creative act.
