About us

Founded by graduates of the MFA program in Creative Writing at UNCG, Spring Garden Press is a not-for-profit independent literary press located in Greensboro, NC, a place Randall Jarrell once described as "Sleeping Beauty" for its uncanny ability to attract and produce so many wonderful writers. Our mission is to publish poetry that, by entering the world, wakens it.
