22 Poetry Book Publishers by Leanne Dyck

I scoured the Literary Press Group of Canada list of member publishers to find those publishers who publish poetry books. Good news:  I found 22. I'll write that number again twenty-two. So, my dear brave reader, search this list for your best fit and then send them your poetry collection. Some of these publishers only accept submissions from Canadians. Others are open to a wider population of poets. Carefully read the submission guidelines.
