Oversteps Books was founded in 1992 by the poet and translator, Anne Born (1924 – 2011). The poet and lecturer, Alwyn Marriage, became Managing Editor in 2008.
After publishing over 100 collections of poetry since 2008, the last in 2023, Oversteps Books closed in March 2025. There are no books left in stock but the authors may still have copies to sell. It is no longer possible to buy books through this website.
Any inquiries about buying books, or publishing copyright material like reproducing poems which have been published by Oversteps, should now be addressed to Alwyn Marriage through her personal website by clicking here.
Oversteps Books has published some of the best in contemporary poetry, covering a wide range of established and new poets. There was a rigorous editorial policy, and the books were produced to the highest standards both in terms of editorial accuracy and the beauty of the finished books. Oversteps poets give regular poetry readings at festivals and other events.
