Mission

Brooklyn Arts Press, BAP, is a small literary press devoted to publishing art monographs and poetry books by emerging artists. Experimentation, innovation, and devotion to formal and historical aspects of art are all honored, as these traits supply the means by which all works are created and diverge. They hope to serve the community by placing books of varying aesthetics side by side, and by subverting the current notion that artistic camps exist in vacuums, apart from the culture in which they reside and apart from other camps. Language and imagery will be used to whatever ends, by whatever means, by the voices that manipulate them, which are by nature numerous and diverse.

History

BAP was founded in 2005 as an organization designed to publish emerging poets and artists. The staff is comprised of unpaid loyalists, whose editorial resolve, time, effort, and expertise will soon allow BAP to publish 5-6 new books a year.
