Your Bridge to Washington's Poetic Landscape.

Welcome to Floating Bridge Press, home of Washington State's poetic voices. Since 1994, we've been dedicated to discovering, publishing, and promoting poets who make our state's poetry scene vibrant.

We have been championing poetry with unwavering dedication for thirty years. Join us in our passion for poetry. Explore, engage, and be inspired by the words that shape our shared experiences and illuminate our world.

Our books are available at select independent bookstores and in our online shop. You can also attend our events in person throughout the year. And if you’d like to join our family of poets, you can submit your work
