Brick Road Poetry Press

poetry made to entertain, amuse, and edify

The mission of Brick Road Poetry Press is to publish and promote poetry that entertains, amuses, edifies, and surprises a wide audience of appreciative readers.  We are not qualified to judge who deserves to be published, so we concentrate on publishing what we enjoy. Our preference is for poetry geared toward dramatizing the human experience in language rich with sensory image and metaphor, recognizing that poetry can be, at one and the same time, both familiar as the perspiration of daily labor and as outrageous as a carnival sideshow.

The Brick Road Poetry Contest has been cancelled for 2023. It was a last-minute decision, and as such, I regret any confusion or disappointment caused by this. Due to other commitments, I am unable invest the necessary time to read manuscripts and facilitate the publication of new books.

Sincerely, Keith Badowski, Editor
