Piquant Press publishes one or two outstanding books of poetry every year.

Located in Port Perry, Ontario, less than an hour north-east of the Greater Toronto area, we enjoy access to one of the most vibrant, talented and diverse writing scenes in the world today.

We keep our fingers on the pulses of the wordsmith community, select those poets who represent themselves and artistic expression in engaging and relevant ways, then invite them to submit manuscripts.

Our long term goal is to identify and publish the writers who create the clever, daring and intimate statements about our society that you will enjoy reading and sharing with others.
