Arson Press is not accepting submissions.
​
Arson Press is run on one shoelace and a mixture of dirt, olive oil, and tears. It is the lovechild of Prometheus and John Reinhart.
​
The press began as a vain promise that if the patreon patrons pledged enough, Reinhart would publish a chapbook. What sounded like a great long shot became a reality, and Reinhart put together "screaming," a collection of second person prose poem nightmares.
​
A full length collection, "dig it," followed.
​
In the midst of this, Reinhart dug up a few poems his friend Jay Rossier had sent shortly before his death. He knew there were more. Reinhart worked with Rossier's widow, Kelley McKenna, to produce "Speak."
​
From there, more projects rolled in. There's a children's book in the works, McKenna's collection "Cobbled Bridges" came out in February 2022, and Reinhart re-released an expanded version of "Horrific Punctuation" after its initial publisher evaporated.
​
The future is fire.
