Al Dante

Founded in 1994, Al Dante aims to bring the most contemporary writing out of the margins. Al Dante publishes books—poetry, poetic and experimental proses, historical avant-gardes, theoretical essays, catalogs and artists' publications, anthologies, reviews—but also CDs (sound poetry, music), DVDs, journals, organizes and participates in events—readings, performances, colloquiums, exhibitions...

Al Dante's catalogue is integrated into that of Les presses du réel since 2018, and its program extended, in all its poetic and political radicality, within a new series directed by Laurent Cauwet.
