What is the Showcase?
The Showcase is an annual exhibition of all of the year's new poetry books and a festival of events presented during National Poetry Month. Last year's Showcase included more than 2,100 books of poetry, representing the work of more than 600 publishers: commercial, university, independent, and micro-presses. You are invited to participate by sending us review copies of your newest books for exhibit.
Inclusion in the Showcase is entirely FREE. To participate, please send us copies of your latest poetry books, chapbooks, broasides, and multimedia titles. The 2012 Showcase will include all poetry and poetry-related titles (volumes by individual authors, anthologies, chapbooks, biographies, critical studies, essay collections, CDs, DVDs, etc.) published since June 2011. |

What does inclusion in the Showcase do for you?
-
Organized by publisher so that the work of your press can be seen as a whole, it provides a unique forum for literary branding.
-
It makes your books available to the acquisitions and prize committees who come to Poets House to review all of the new books for the year.
-
It means your books will be listed in the Directory of American Poetry Books, which provides bibliographic detail for all of the books displayed.
-
It secures your books a place in the national archive we are building here at Poets House.
-
And it provides year-round exposure to readers and writers of poetry.

Which titles qualify for inclusion?
All books of poetry (full-length collections, anthologies and chapbooks), poetry-related prose, poetry audio and videotapes, CD's, and computer media published since June 2010 qualify for exhibit. Books from vanity press publishers will not be accepted. Books of poetry published outside the United States are included in a separate portion of the exhibit, but they are not listed in the Directory. |
