Whether in books or movies, the common thread is the story.<\/p>\n

Deriving from oral tradition with its dominance from the most ancient times through the Renaissance, narrative poetry is our greatest literary tradition.<\/p>\n

From the Epic of Gilgamesh<\/em>, to Beowulf<\/em>, to Dante\u2019s Inferno<\/em>, to Milton\u2019s Paradise Lost<\/em> and many others, narrative poetry has given the world an ever-guiding legacy.<\/p>\n

Narrative Light Press is devoted to sharing light through formal narrative poetry, book length in scope.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row

Our Publishing Philosophy<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]With the goal of bringing formal narrative poetry back into significance (which includes but is not defined by gaining a popular audience), we can not follow the same practice and mindset of the contemporary poetry publishing model.<\/p>\n

Current poetry publishing trends are almost universally geared toward free verse lyric poetry. While an essential form of poetry, the continued honing of this aesthetic has failed to reach the audience that it perhaps deserves. The reasons are many. Change is necessary.<\/p>\n

Our publishing philosophy is geared toward reaching the general reader who first and foremost wants one thing: a great story<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Both the merit of a story and its execution in verse determine whether a work is ready for publication. Like a good novel or movie, narrative poetry must entertain and connect with the reader on potentially a variety of levels.<\/p>\n
