Poetry Online is thrilled to announce the creation of English Braille editions of two chapbooks from our series: Syntaxed by Cindy Juyoung Ok and Postpastoral by Benjamin Voigt. These editions were set and printed by National Braille Press () in Boston, MA, with support from a Poetry Foundation grant (), and were created for free distribution to libraries and readers.

This project grows out of Poetry Online’s ongoing commitment to publishing poetry in accessible formats and to expanding the literary space for disabled poets, readers, and viewers.

Anyone interested in receiving copies (from blind and low vision readers to libraries and other community partners) is welcome to reach out through the contact form on our website. Available copies are free to those in the U.S., and can be mailed anywhere.

Our editor Julian Robles is also happy to meet up for drop offs with folks in Oakland, Berkeley, and the Bay Area.
