United Artists Books has received numerous grants and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Massachusetts Foundation for the Arts and the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines. It has been our primary goal to publish poets whose works are well known and well-respected within the poetry community but unknown to a wider audience.
In an article in The Baltimore Sun, Andrei Codrescu described United Artists Books "on the cutting edge of American poetry for the last twenty years. The series of books is indispensable for any library collection or anyone interested in the future of poetry."
