For National Poetry Month, celebrated every April, we are happy to recognize the work of our brilliant distributed publishers. Over the years, we have been lucky to work closely with poetry and fiction publishers such as Acre Books, Autumn House, CavanKerry Press, Omnidawn, and Seagull Books. Plus, you can often find poetry titles on the lists of our other distributed clients, including Brandeis University Press and  Athabasca University Press. 

Last year, we asked our client publishers “What does poetry mean to you?” Read their responses here.

This year, we’ve rounded up our clients’ newest poetry titles, published in 2022 and 2023, for your reading pleasure. Visit our Bookshop collection to learn more! Shop our collection of new poetry books on Bookshop.
