Why Not Subscribe?
9 books for $99! With a Tupelo Press subscription, you'll receive a year of poetry books, delivered to your door. These subscriptions function like the “community-supported agriculture” memberships many organic farms are now offering to strengthen their relationships with customers and to stabilize finances. We ask our subscribers to give us money in advance, during our production process, and in return we’ll send nine books, postage pre-paid, which will wing their way directly to you over the course of the year.

Praise from Tupelo Subscribers
. . . thank you for your gracious letters and the messages found in the beautifully prepared books that you send. Enclosed is a check for $99, a bargain like few others. I look forward to the surprise and transport of each author’s vision. Thank you for this important commitment.

. . . our Tupelo Press collection has a place of honor in our dining room. Every morning [my partner] and I sit there in shared silence — each of us with a cup of tea and a book. Always, at least once, I disturb our silence because I simply have to read a poem aloud. She loves that. See what gifts can do?
—M. Burke, Spencer, New York
Tupelo books often end up being my favourites. . . . I carry them around in my knapsack, read them in bed, and end up thinking about [them] for my own work.
