POETRY LOUNGE PRESS

True to our name, Poetry Lounge is more than a venue—it’s a home for creative voices. Through Poetry Lounge Press, our in-house publishing company, we support local and visiting writers through thoughtfully curated publishing opportunities, including professionally edited chapbooks and literary releases that celebrate the artist’s voice.

yawp Our House Literary Magazine

At the heart of Poetry Lounge Press is yawp, our in-house literary and arts magazine featuring poetry, prose, and artwork from emerging and established creatives. With 11 issues currently published and many more to come, yawp reflects the diverse spirit of Poetry Lounge and welcomes submissions from writers and artists of all backgrounds. Every submission is thoughtfully reviewed and genuinely appreciated.

Issues of yawp are available for purchase in-house and on Amazon, with a dedicated Poetry Lounge Press website and online shop coming soon. Writers and artists can submit work to yawp@poetryloungepgh.com.
