We’re building next year’s publishing list, and there’s room for three or four more poets.
If you’ve got a poetry manuscript that’s been waiting in a drawer, a folder, or the back of your head, this is the moment to send it. We read everything that comes in, and we read it carefully, because a book deserves that before it gets a yes, or a no. We’re a small nonprofit press, so every title we take on gets real time, real care, and a lot of love.
We publish unified books, not assembled collections. A manuscript that knows what it is and holds its shape all the way through will find a friend here.
Something to read in the meantime
The Lost Stations by Cara Waterfall is open for pre-order. Cara has just won the 2026 Coniston Prize from Radar Poetry, selected by Carolyn Forché, and the book carries the same hand: grief and ecology, old rail stops on Toronto’s Beltline Trail, a palindrome poem that folds back on itself like a held breath.
It’s a limited edition of 250 copies, hand-numbered, and it publishes in November. You can read three of the poems before you decide.

And one more thing
We have some exciting announcements coming soon. I can’t say more yet, but keep an eye on your inbox.
If you know a poet who should be sending us their work, forward this along.
More soon,
G. K. Allum
