We are hard at work preparing our first poetry anthology, shaped by the voices and authors published in Poems & Paraboles.
Poems & Paraboles will publish and release its first full-length print anthology in Winter 2026 under the official publisher name Parabole Press—an independent poetry company. The exact release date will be announced soon!
The anthology is a collaborative poetry collection that took the course of one year to compile and bring to fruition. Twenty-six authors will be represented in the anthology. Congratulations to the authors for being involved in this literary feat!
The Authors
Deidre Braley, Aaron Sun, Kellie Brown, Bethany J. Riddle, Bob the Green Druid, Drew D. West, Sarah Tate, Kayla Good(wo)man, Caroline Beit-Beale, Kassi Wilson, Julia McMullen, Corie Feiner, Abigail, Ashlyn McKayla Ohm, Andy Smith, Poetry Outdoors, Allison Moore, Rachel Lynne Sakashita, Hannah Christmas, Maya Sarin, Sarah Steele, E R Skulmoski, Zane Paxton, Kristi Joy Rimbach, Dr David Evans, Lyndsey Parsons, and Tyler A.

Message to Authors . . . shortly a legal form will be sent out, to be signed by you confirming that you grant Parabole Press permission to distribute your poem. The form will be sent to your email in the coming months.
Publishing Rights
By submitting your work:
You affirm you are the sole author and maintain all rights for your work
And, you affirm your poem is not made with the help of A.I. or ChatGPT
The publisher requests first serial rights—this grants Parabole Press the opportunity to publish a poem first, before it goes out elsewhere. We also request non-exclusive anthology rights. If your poem was posted on Poems & Paraboles’ Substack, your poem will be published in the anthology under the publisher name Parabole Press. All individual rights revert back to you, the author, upon publication of the anthology.
Looking forward to reading this!
Awesome! Thank you so much, Kassi, for cultivating a space for us poets!
