Welcome to Sixteen Rivers Press!

Sixteen Rivers Press  is a shared-work, nonprofit poetry collective dedicated to providing an alternative publishing avenue for San Francisco Bay Area poets. Founded in 1999 by seven writers, the press is named for the sixteen rivers that flow into the San Francisco Bay. Since 2001, we have produced twenty outstanding books of poetry, sharing our commitment to excellence with the poetry world.
