Valparaíso Ediciones was born in Granada Spain in 2012. Our original mission was to translate the finest poetry on the planet and introduce it to the Spanish-speaking world. Authors such as Jericho Brown, Carolyn Forché, Juan Felipe Herrera, Yusef Komunyakaa, Philip Levine, Mary Oliver, Charles Simic, Natasha Trethewey and the Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott became available in translation to our readers in Spain. Our success spread like wildfire, and soon Valparaíso appeared in Colombia, Mexico and Central America.

Valparaíso USA is the newest edition of this publishing enterprise. Our mission is to offer readers in the United States the most relevant Spanish language poetry available in a bilingual format. Our first publication is the remarkable New York Notebook by the Cervantes Prize laureate José Hierro. Other works in the collection are by highly respected poets not only from Spain, but also from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Italy, Mexico and the United States.

Our long-term goal is to be the best in the business and an enduring resource for readers in the United States who would like to remain in a dialogue with other souls from other continents. Works by our authors are in fine bookstores, on Amazon and on our website. We hope that you will consider our collection for your personal library.
