hello! verve bath press specializes in poetry. it's the home of WORDs DANCE & the occasional chapbook.

About WORDs DANCE: a poetry print mag that bops in twice a year, publishing a stirring mix of handpicked poetry written by established and budding poets of the present. I welcome a broad range of work, any style or form, formal or informal, experimental and conventional. The only toe-stepper for acceptance is the quality of the work. If I like your groove, I will publish you, if not, I will leave you standing like the wallflower you probably are, heh. I created WORDs DANCE to publish poems that I admire, that I believe in. As a maturing writer myself, I thought that I would take a swing on the editorial floor, establishing a ballroom within to share with new spectators the poems that mean the most to me.
