Your support lives in each new book we publish!

Tupelo encourages and publishes both "emerging" and well-known poets, including the so-important "voices" of writers of color, of women, of Asian-Americans, of the LGBTQ community, and is open to all manner of poetry, from traditional to experimental. And what's more, they make such beautiful books!

Tupelo has created a project that is both fundraiser AND a platform for the drafts of writing of nine courageous diverse poets each month, who jumped at the opportunity to accept the rather daunting challenge of writing 30 poem in 30 days: the Tupelo Press 30/30 Project.

Please consider supporting these courageous poets who have eagerly joined this "fundraiser" that supports Tupelo Press, and provides a worldwide audience for their own work, every day for a month. This mutually-beneficial and so important "campaign" does such good work, is so beautifully conceived -- and you can be a part of it.

Give today.

Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference.
