Sunday Mornings at the River is more than an indie poetry press—it’s a rebellion against the commercial gatekeeping of traditional publishing. It’s a one-woman operation, built from passion, late nights, and a deep belief that poetry deserves a home beyond profit margins.
Every book, every poet amplified here exists because I choose to fund this press out of my own pocket—balancing my work as a carer with the mission of keeping poetry alive in a world that undervalues it. This isn’t about business. It’s about carving out a space where poets can be heard, unfiltered and unrestrained.
Your support doesn’t just keep the lights on—it fuels new anthologies, helps promote underrepresented voices, and ensures this space remains free from corporate constraints. Whether it’s a small donation or a larger contribution, it directly sustains this independent press, keeping poetry where it belongs: in the hands of those who need it most.
Thank you for being part of this. Even though I run this alone, every donation proves I’m not in this fight by myself.
