Editorial Focus

Jacar Press is a Community Active press publishing fine poetry from Pulitzer Prize winners to poets not yet known. Proceeds from all our publications will go to support progressive programs and organizations working to create positive change in their communities. We also sponsor free and low-cost community workshops and an annual Gathering of Poets, which  has featured writers like Diane Seuss,Carolyn Forche, Ilya Kaminsky, Marilyn Nelson, Li-Young Lee, etc.

Tips From the Editor

Query first. If not entering a contest, your best time to submit is several months after contest deadlines. Since we often publish finalists from our contests, entering those is the best path to follow for publication.
