We’re excited to share that after more than two decades of championing the voices of hundreds of poets: it’s Larry Moore’s turn.

Only (So Far) by Larry W. Moore is out now and available online for purchase:
https://www.broadstonebooks.com/shop/p/only-so-far-poetry-by-larry-w-moore

For years, Larry has quietly built Broadstone Books into a home for extraordinary poetry.

Now, readers can experience the poems behind the publisher—forty years of work that Philip Brady calls “the source-code of this achievement.”

Rooted in memory, place, family, and the communities that shape us, these poems celebrate the overlooked moments that become a life. As Tim Hunt writes, they "capture the resonance of seemingly ordinary things" while "radiat[ing] a richness of connectedness through quiet celebrations of people, communities, and histories."

Many of you have known Larry as your publisher, editor, advocate, and friend.

We’re honored to share his own long-awaited collection with you.

Publication Date: August 22, 2026 Paperback, 118 pages  ISBN: 978-1-966677-54-3 (Only) So Far covers a journey of forty years through poetry. Steeped in narrative and expressing love, nature, politics, and engaging word play, Larry W. Moore reveals a rich life well lived. P

We are so very excited to be returning to Poets House on Saturday September 19th for a full afternoon of readings featuring nine of our NYC area poets with recent books. Broadstone Books publisher Larry W. Moore will be on hand to host, accompanied by partners Morgan Saylor and Lisa Lowry, and this year introducing our talented designer Ashley Johnson.

Always a great gathering of our growing community and a chance to hear amazing poetry, sip some w**e (or bourbon - we're from Kentucky, after all), and see old and make new friends. Don't miss it.

Ya know, Pulitzers and all are nice, but how many poets get to have a product named for their work??? Congratulations (?) to Broadstone poet ESTILL PO***CK for having his poem "Meditation" featured on the packaging of this Indian reed diffuser!

Did they pay him anything? Of course not! But at least he has bragging rights.

If you want to read Estill's poetry in a more conventional form, you'll find several of his collections at BroadstoneBooks.com, and his latest volume "Souvenir Chakras" will appear next month.

Good job, Estill. At least making the world smell a little better.
