Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers,

As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books?

Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion.

Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.
Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.
Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc
Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.
Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.
Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and more.
Glass Poetry Press - has published Hannah Cohen.

Are there any other publishers I should know of?

Stay inspired,

Fida

Hi there! Here are a few other publishers you might want to look at:
Mayapple Press - specializes in speculative feminist work
Steel Toe Books - Kentucky-based press, friendly to funny work
Moon City Press - midwestern publisher who just started publishing poetry in the last few years
Copper Canyon Press - bigger poetry press, very competetive
Red Hen Press - LA Based

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers, I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

Short Story: Little Red Hijab

Back in 2014 I wrote a short story with a little twist on little red riding hood. Enjoy! Once upon a time lived a little girl named Ruqayyah. She lived in a small town with her parents. She didn't like being in big cities because it was busy and dirty. Grimy people were lurking in the shadows. She had the charm to make them good. There was something about her green eyes. Her mother loved the color red and thought it would go well with Ruqayyah's green eyes. Mom bought red fabric and stitched her a headscarf. Ruqayyah loved it. She wore it every day. One day her mother said to her: 'Come, Little Red, here are some homemade cookies, fruit, and dates; take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will help her. Go before it gets hot, and walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the cookies or scrape your knee, then your grandmother won't get anything; and when you go into her room, don't forget to say, "Good...
