The Cultural Center launched Bass River Press in 2015 to support local poets. It typically publishes one full-length collection by a Cape or Islands poet each year.  

​

Bass River Press serves the dual function of promoting the works of local poets and engaging the community in the literary arts.  

​

In general, the press accepts only original, unpublished collections of poems between 48 and 64 pages. Poets with previously published collections are eligible to submit, along with first-time poets. Visit our Call for Entries page for specifics.

​

Current titles are available for purchase by calling 508-394-7100 or visiting our Artisan Gallery Gift Shop.
