Byway Books is a pop-up poetry happening built to share & gather around the power of poetry in our beautiful, burning world.




We aim to platform diverse voices in contemporary poetry and beyond who challenge the status quo and confront the complex issues of our time in their work. We strive to be an entry point for new readers, a resource for current ones, and a gathering place for a community compelled by the power of poetry.
