The Yakima Coffeehouse Poets publish a chapbook each year with the poems of that year’s Contest Prize winners and Honorable Mentions as well as the Judges’ Poems. The Yakima Coffeehouse Poets is proud to have published many poets and poems throughout the years. We encourage all to contribute to our annual Poetry Contest and applaud all the current and past year’s poets.
The most recent contest chapbooks are available for a $10 donation (plus $2.50 shipping) to YCP or by visiting
Inklings Bookshop
in Yakima. Some past year chapbooks are still available —
for information on any publications…
In addition to these YCP chapbooks, visit our
Local Poet Publication
