History
Ohio University Press was incorporated in 1947 and formally established in 1964. Currently, the press publishes approximately 25-30 books annually, and it is currently a "leading publisher of books about Africa, Appalachia, Southeast Asia, and the Midwest".[3] Notable Ohio University Press titles include Robert Gipe's trilogy Trampoline, Weedeater, and Pop.[6][7]
In 1979, Ohio University Press entered into a licensing agreement with Alan Swallow's Swallow Press, eventually acquiring the imprint and its back catalog of 276 titles in 2008.[8]
Currently, Ohio University Press awards the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize to select collections of poetry. The award is named after the former Ohio University faculty member and poet.[9]
