To help spread the word about new books, our publicity team launched the UNP Influencer Partnership in 2023. As part of the partnership, influencers can request and receive galleys (physical or e-book) or finished books of their choice. We are now accepting title requests for the Fall/Winter 2026 Season.

Is it too early to declare 2026 the year of UNP poetry? Hot on the heels of Gbenga Adesina’s Anisfield-Wolf Book Award win and Griffin Poetry Prize finalist distinction for Death Does Not End at the Sea, our Fall/Winter season delivers poetry collections that further explore globalization, migrant poetics, and the function of art in an increasingly hostile climate.

Winner of this year’s Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, Pyrrhic Symphony by Adam O. Davis asks, “Should a poem be the pill or the pharmacy?” Meanwhile, Daniela Danz’s Portolan, translated from German by Monika Cassel, redirects our gaze from land to the sea, following routes of container shipping that connect us all through tourism, warfare, and ecological disaster. Sanam Sheriff’s Backwaters Prize-Winning HUM seeks as the pilgrim seeks, following a queer, trans, Muslim speaker who grew up in southern India and migrated to the United States.

There’s plenty more to choose from than on display here, so request your review copies now! To be eligible to join the partnership, please submit the form on our Influencer Partnership page. You can also request select titles on NetGalley.
