A byway is a road that doesn’t follow a main route. At Byway Books, we aim to platform diverse voices in contemporary poetry and beyond who challenge the status quo and confront the complex issues of our time in their work. We strive to be an entry point for new readers, a resource for current ones, and a gathering place for a community compelled by the power of poetry.
In a world that is eliminating, erasing, pushing apart, and quite literally burning down so much of what makes us human and what makes this world wonderful, we believe poetry holds a great power to capture the human experience, process the traumas and triumphs of living in this fraught time, and to bring people together.
