At Milk Press, our mission is to be a conduit for creative play, the soul and identity of the Poetry Society of New York. Poetry is a living, breathing art form that is expansive, inclusive, and powerful. We aim to nurture a community of artists who, as collaborators, push and transcend the boundaries of form and meaning.
We actively reject the restrictions imposed by traditional concepts of discipline and genre—products of imperial and hetero-patriarchal thinking that seeks to maintain its own power and authority. At Milk Press, we believe dismantling these rigid categories is the essence of art and poetry.

Who we are

Milk Press merges the poetry, visual, and digital art worlds by cultivating, presenting, and publishing multi-disciplinary, collaborative work. The projects we publish are fluid, nourishing, essential; spilt and split-open. Launched in 2018 by Jackie Braje, Milk Press aims to foster new and known talents across the five boroughs and beyond. Over the years, our journal has been a home for the work of many emerging and established creatives, including Chen Chen, John Reed, Major Jackson, Donna Masini, Matthew Yeager, and more.
