What we stand for and what we do

MBooks of BC is a small press. We publish poetry, prose & poetry leaflets, prose, translations, child­ren’s writing, sound recordings, fiction, and literary non-fiction. We also have a publishing ser­vices division. We belong to an international circle of poets and editors committed to reforming the prevailing order by bringing about a traditionalist revival in writing. Joe M. Ruggier, the president and managing editor, assumes that:

  • We owe the tradition of unrhymed metrical verse to the Greeks and the Romans;
  • We owe the tradition of rhymed metrical verse to the early Church;
  • Free form (vers libre/sublime prose) was the peculiar domain of the Hebrews;

We are devoted to publishing work in which these three traditions cross-fertilize each other without in any way excluding any one. The managing editor owns his own poetry journal, The Eclectic Muse, which he publishes and edits with the valued, voluntary assistance of diverse associates.
