The vision for Hunt & Light comes from a love of books that satisfy a hunger for imagination and beauty. We crave the experience of words as art, and desire to publish poetry with simplicity and style. Our poets are original, inventive, and perhaps more than any other quality, demonstrate their passion for life. We see language as an ancient and powerful medium, a direct channel to the human experience, across time and through space. The mission of Hunt & Light is to share the voices of great poets, and inspire people to create new worlds.
Hunt & Light values participation in the community, and will organize readings and contests for local schools and organizations. It is our belief that poetry is essential to our culture as well as an integral voice in democratic society. Part of our mission is to help find a way for people to relate to poetry that is meaningful and beneficial to their lives. In that spirit, we will host events specifically for those who may not normally have the chance to experience new poetry.
