Contemporary Poetry

Are you a poet or publishing house that is interested in sharing your poetry on our app? We'd love to hear from you! Please send us an e-mail: poesie.app@gmail.com.

Meet Our Featured Partners

Here are some of the great independent publishers we've worked with to bring contemporary poetry to our readers:
  • Bloodaxe Books (British publishing house founded in 1978)
  • ​New Directions (Independent publishing company founded 1936 in Cambridge, MA)
  • Coffee House Press (Independent book publisher and arts nonprofit based in Minneapolis, MN)
  • Red Hen Press (An American non-profit press located in Pasadena, California)
  • Peepal Tree Press (Publisher based in Leeds, England which publishes Caribbean, Black British, and South Asian literature)

Helping Poets Get Paid

Part of our mission as an organization is to help pay poets and publishing houses, so we share a portion of all our revenue with the contemporary poets we work with.

​Here's how it works:
  • We carve out 15% of subscription revenue every period to share with participating poets and publishing houses.
  • We allocate this revenue to our partners based on viewership of their poems on the app.
  • To make sure poets get paid, we pay a $100/poet advance when adding new selections to our library.
(These numbers may change in the future, but as of April 2021 they are the standard contract we've offered to all partners.)
