Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Fifth Stanza Press is dedicated to publishing debut and second collections of poetry by writers in midlife or later. Writing and publishing poems later in life may come without conventional literary credentials, but for Fifth Stanza, the only credential is the poetry itself. Our purpose is to help give voice to older writers who haven't yet found their place. We admire and are open to a diverse range of poetic styles, schools and movements.

What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We believe in the power of mining creativity from life experience. The richness of your experience—and how this is reflected in your poems—matters to us and the community of readers we’re building.
