new words {press} Chapbooks A project of new words {press} (see other related projects). About nw{p} is an independent press founded by brooklyn baggett, a trans woman, whose express purpose is raising the voices of trans and gender-expansive poets & experimental writers.we lean toward fresh work that embodies the trans experience, not simply through content, but rather form, syntax, style, diction or other poetics. we love craft that mirrors the trans experience; takes risks to find freedom & self, even if that leads us to uncomfortable spaces. while we are not afraid of work that is dark, dangerous, sexual, or provocative, it should be executed with great intention and control. we want your best work; work that resonates with clarity and brings new experiences and ideas to the page– work that leaves a room quiet.
