Description: Founded in 1994, Kaya Press has been publishing cutting-edge Asian diasporic writers for more than 15 years. Kaya and its authors have won numerous awards, including the Gregory Kolovakas Prize for Outstanding New Literary Press, the American Book Award, the Association for Asian American Studies Book Award, the PEN Beyond Margins Open Book Prize, the Asian American Writers' Workshop Award, and the PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Prize. Kaya was the name of a tribal confederation of six Korean city-states that existed from the middle of the first until the sixth century CE. Although the Kaya kingdom was an iron-age culture, it is remembered as a utopia of learning, music, and the arts due to its trade and communication with China, Japan, and India.
