b l u s h (est. 2019) is a publishing platform for contemporary writing. we aim to promote transgressive, irreverent, insurgent, decadent, forward-thinking texts authored from the bleeding edge.

our poetry journal is now published in an issue-based format. full-length titles & chapbooks are available in our store. our sub-imprint, illicit zines, publishes rogue guerilla transmissions from the American poetry underground.

August online workshops coming soon. we are also booking manuscript consultations.

we are currently accepting submissions for full-length manuscripts.
