BAP Mission

Brooklyn Arts Press (BAP) is an independent literary press devoted to publishing art monographs, poetry chapbooks and full-length collections, and lyrical short stories by emerging artists. We hope to serve our community by placing books of varying aesthetics side by side, subverting the notion that artistic camps exist in vacuums, apart from the culture in which they reside and apart from other camps. Experimentation leads to innovation, which may arrive by way of given forms or new ones, just as language and imagery will be used to whatever ends by the voices that manipulate them, which are by nature numerous and diverse.

Our staff is comprised of unpaid loyalists, whose editorial resolve, time, effort, and expertise allows us to publish the best of the submissions we receive.
