Birds, LLC is a small independent editor-run poetry press born out of friendship and a collective spirit of collaboration, possibility, and care, and in direct opposition to the Contest Industrial Complex of capital P poetry. Specializing in close author relationships, Birds, LLC believes that great books are a collaboration of editors and authors. Birds, LLC supports readings, events, audiobooks, videos, podcasts, and class visits for its authors, believing that poetry demands a human voice to read it and an audience to receive it.
About
Press
Birds, LLC are like the pinnacle of enthusiasm for contemporary young poet's full-length books, and of reinventing self-publishing.
While essentially Birds, LLC is about the singular poet's collection, they always emphasize a collaboration of editors and authors. I've never quite felt so warm and fuzzy about a press. Their gigantic spirit and love of poetry and poets is infectious.
