bottle rockets:a collection of short verse
Once again bottle rockets will have a contributor's payment for each batch of poems accepted. (This is limited to poets residing in the US. Payment can't be sent out of the country. We are sorry.)
Unfortunately, it's just a token of our appreciation, but it's a fun one!
And who said poetry doesn't pay? (If you previously had work accepted. Please send only an SASE for your token payment.) SASE is required.

"bottle rockets is hip!"
—Lawson Inada

"Remarkably clear photo reproductions; the layout masterfully combines haiku composed on 3 lines, 1 line and more creative free-style art forms with other short verses . . . ."
—David McMurray, Asahi Shimbun/International Herald Tribune

"A careful selection of good poems . . . but it is bottle rockets' quest for the unexpected that beguiles." --Beverley George, Editor of Yellow Moon

bottle rockets press is happy to announce the second book in the 3-n-1 anthology series:
one thing leads to another by Wanda D. Cook, Larry Kimmel, and Jeffrey Winke. Edited by Stanford M. Forrester
This 5"x 6.5" glossy, full-color paperback is filled with 45 pages of haiku, senryu, and short poems of suggestion and innuendo. These three veteran poets abandon cardboard topics and infuse their poems with flesh and blood. These poems are alive and explore the other side of the being human that is often ignored.
