Moth Orchid Press

About this Publisher

At Moth Orchid Press we aim to promote misunderstood and underrepresented voices in the English Language Haikai community. We seek collections of Japanese short-forms that are modern, revolutionary, and experimental and publish in the form of free-to-read e-books. This press strives to be a safe space for experienced and new poets alike to try new things and expand their craft. Moth Orchid Press believes in diversity, inclusivity, and education. In studying the art of Japanese short form poetry, reading is just as important as writing. We do not believe that education, books, and resources should be limited to those with financial privilege. Individual collections by Moth Orchid poets will remain free to further the education of those willing to read, study, and create, as well as to amplify the outreach of the poet’s voice.
