Welcome to Avantexte Press, the San Francisco Bay Area’s only publisher of visual, concrete and experimental poetry. We strive to publish the most innovative and beautiful visual poetry being published today, as it is our belief that visual poetry represents one of the most vital, innovative, syncretic, and accessible forms of contemporary poetic exploration. Not to mention one of its most underrepresented.

Our Editorial Team

Our editorial team consists of dedicated creatives with strong publishing histories in visual and experimental poetry, as well as experience with graphic design and copywriting. Our mission is to publish books and journals that honor the fine and extensively interwoven fields of poetry, visual art, and typography—and thereby, their content.
