Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Kelsey Street Press was founded in 1974 to address the marginalization of women writers by small press and mainstream publishers. From the beginning, we linked our editorial policy to a poetics of allowance, encouraging women to write directly from their own creative imperatives, and to a poetics of inclusion that embraces racial and cultural diversity. At the heart of the Press remain the pleasures of the written page, books that can be held and carried, and ongoing participation in a continually changing poetry community. Celebrating our fifty years of publishing, we remain true to our commitment to bring out a wide range of voices, including the work of trans and genderqueer authors.
