Cerise Press, an international online journal based in the United States and France, builds cross-cultural bridges by featuring artists and writers in English and translations, with an emphasis on French and Francophone works. Co-founded by Fiona Sze-Lorrain, Sally Molini, and Karen Rigby in 2009, Cerise Press hopes to serve as a gathering force where imagination, insight, and conversation express the evolving and shifting forms of human experience.
Previous contributors have included authors such as Yusef Komunyakaa, Dorianne Laux, Tess Gallagher, Mahmoud Darwish (translated by Fady Joudah), Amina Said (translated by Marilyn Hacker), Pura Lopez-Colome (translated by Forrest Gander) and artists/photographers such as Yacov Gabay, Josie Gray, Michael Katakis, Naoyuki Ogino, and Olivier Schwartz, among many others.
Submissions are considered year-round. Please visit the website for guidelines.
