Each year, The Unsung Masters Series publishes a selected volume from a writer whose work has been unjustly forgotten or neglected, contextualized by critical essays from contemporary writers.

We also curate a reading series where renowned poets introduce little-known poets to a new audience.
We're seeking proposals for future Unsung Masters volumes!

Send your proposal to unsung.masters.series[at]gmail[dot]com by October 15.

For more info, visit unsungmasters.org or reach out to series editors @kevinprufer.bsky.social, @infinite-scroll.bsky.social, or @waynemillerpoet.bsky.social.

This @unsung-masters.bsky.social book on Tom Postell, edited by Michael Peterson and Anthony Sutton, is SO GOOD!

Co-directing this series with @kevinprufer.bsky.social and Wayne Miller continues to be one of the great joys of my literary life.

Thank you @poetrydaily.bsky.social for featuring.
