The Art of Poetry

Welcome! David Robert Books is a poetry publisher that aims to celebrate the art of poetry through well-designed books. We publish collections of poetry through two annual contests--Stanzas: A Poetry Series; and the David Robert Poetry Prize.

NOW AVAILABLE: Undone by Kim Bridgford

Now available is Undone by Kim Bridgford. Combining formal mastery with an ear for the nuances of intimate human speech, Bridgford's first full-length collection is haunting and memorable. For more information, click here.
