Five Islands. Poetry for Everyone

Poems that give us back to our lives, to each other, and to the world.

At 5 Islands Press, we believe that poetry is not a luxury for the few, but an essential for all. Our job is to encourage and support the poets who write poems that nourish us, and to find ways of getting their poems into the hands of those who need them--which is to say, everyone.

Poetry is a life-cherishing force. And it requires a vision--a faith, to use an old-fashioned term. Yes, indeed, For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.  Yes, indeed. 

(Mary Oliver)
