Future Unwritten Press

ABOUT

I started Future Unwritten Press as a project in 2023 to provide a way to share my ideas about poetry comics, experimental poetry, punk poems and haiku/nonhaiku. The DIY zines and pamphlets, self-published in short runs, are distributed for free. 

HOW TO GET
Email PunkPoet.JB(at)gmail.com with your name, mailing address, and we’ll add you to our distribution list for 2026, which for now is limited to 50.
