from the editors
the poem is willed to continue into its next rotation
usually this takes $15,000.00
usually we bid the government for most of this
this year we have returned with $0
the poem continues regardless, in fact at an even grander pace in hope of staring precarity dead into her eyes and driving blind along a turning page etc
as the bureaucracies that adhere money to war and genocide diminish its public availability this seems a time to turn inward (as a way to further outward) to friends and colleagues and comrades and poets alike
at 19 books, nmp seems only junior in its possibilities
just as we began, we wish to endure boundless
limited edition printing to celebrate the temporality of ideas, the malleability of our aspirations and fantasies
we wish to continue until there is no more poetry
we look toward our small community, one we have had such joy entertaining and collaborating with
if we get enough money we will publish:
8 books
a monthly newsletter
this year also brings an open access archive of every book we have and will ever publish
2024 must be a time for increased listening / reading / workshopping / performing / sharing / collaborating / scheming / disrupting / surrendering / quietly honouring / dancing / singing / witnessing / withholding / reducing / simplifying / loosening / untangling

now in its third year of operation, no more poetry has supported the publication of work by more than 300 authors and artists, and we are one of the most prolific publishers of early career works in Australia.
Founding and fostering the house together has been a real triumph,
we have been gifted the opportunity to read, review, curate and edit some truly amazing collections of poetry, essay and art.
we are often overwhelmed by the reception we have received for doing something we love so deeply.
donate more
blessings,
daniel and Joshua
