ABOUT

We are a small press focusing on the fine poetry and literature of a circle of friends. The circle can be widened. Our mission is to simplify the process of sharing your best work with others. We may publish your work online or by print. We may publish individual poems online or in a print anthology, or we may publish an entire manuscript. We will not offer criticism but will choose from your work what we feel best represents the press.

We love poetry that is unique, challenging, but sincere. We love poetry that attempts to get at the fundamental mysteries. We love poetry that contains the seeds of innocent wonder. We love poetry with a sharp focus, each word adding to the experience of your understanding. We are open to all types of poetry, including abstract and minimal.

If we choose your work for print publication, you will receive a free contributor’s copy of the printed book where your work appears. We will also offer promotion of your poems/book through our website, book launch, zoom events, social media, and other potential venues of promotion.

We prefer unpublished work but may consider previously published if you own the rights. Rights revert to the author upon publication.

For more information on submissions and submission calls please visit the Submission page. Take a look at our books on the BOOKS page or check out upcoming events on the Events page.
