Publishers of visionary poetry are known for their commitment to promoting boundary-pushing and innovative poetry that explores new themes and ideas, often with a spiritual or mystical bent. These publishers often focus on publishing work by poets from marginalized communities and underrepresented groups, and are often small and independent, not beholden to the commercial pressures of larger publishing houses.
These publishers of visionary poetry are committed to promoting and publishing poetry that expands the reader's understanding of the world, and of themselves. They may have small press runs and may use digital and alternative formats to distribute their books. Some examples of publishers of visionary poetry include:
Fence Books: An independent publisher that focuses on publishing poetry and literary fiction, and is known for promoting visionary poetry that explores new themes and ideas, often with a spiritual or mystical bent.
New Directions: An independent publisher that focuses on publishing poetry, fiction and translations, and is known for promoting visionary poetry that expands the reader's understanding of the world.
Wave Books: An independent publisher that focuses on publishing poetry and poetry in translation, and is known for promoting visionary poetry that explores new themes and ideas, often with a spiritual or mystical bent.
Publishers of visionary poetry play an important role in shaping the genre by promoting new and diverse voices, and by introducing readers to boundary-pushing poetry that expands their understanding of the world and themselves.
