Maverick Duck Press About Maverick Duck Press was founded in 2005 to help give a voice to undiscovered talent in poetry. We are a small chapbook micro-press that publishes limited run, saddle stapled chapbooks. We look for fresh talent with an eye for detail, a powerful voice and the ability to make the reader feel something. Our books are available through this website and via readings from our poets. MDP has been a labor of love, and it exists for the sake of the work and the art of poetry. Important: Length requirements vary. Check current limitations before submitting.
