Publisher’s description: Bateau subscribes to no trend but serves to represent as wide a cross-section of contemporary writing as possible. For this reason, readers will most likely love and hate at least something in each issue. We consider this a good thing. To us, it means Bateau is eclectic, open-ended and not mired in a particular strain.

Our standard is excellence. Work in Bateau succeeds because of its individual strengths and ability to move a wide-ranging readership. Craftsmanship and quality are delivered through the contents and its package, reflected in our letterpressed covers. Each issue works out of a mutual gifting and strives to be a kind of art piece.

Bateau Press is also the publisher for its annual Boom Chapbook Contest. See our website for details
