Bloof Books is poetry press based in Central New Jersey, publishing perfect-bound paperbacks as well as limited-edition handmade books and chapbooks. Our perfect-bound books are available on our site, at select bookstores, and via online retailers such as Powells.com, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Lulu.com, and others. Bookstores may order from Ingram in the US, Bertrams or Gardners in the UK, or directly from the press.

(Bloof encourages you to support your local independent bookseller whenever possible. Most will be happy to order Bloof books for you. That goes for your libraries too. Just ask 'em.)

The Bloof catalog is full through 2013. We are not accepting submissions at this time. Please understand that Bloof is a very small press, publishing only 1-2 books a year. We do not have the resources to open for general submissions, and do not feel it would be fair to pretend otherwise and waste anyone's time. Instead, we do our best to keep up with what is happening in our favorite magazines, listen intently to the recommendations of our authors and friends, and are always on the lookout for poets whose work might be a good fit.

Tweak Job is a periodic online magazine. Calls for entries are posted, when open, on our blog and Facebook page.
