About Friday Night Library

Friday Night Library is an independent poetry journal printed once a year ,a community built with care.

We publish work that feels intimate, reflective, and deeply human. We appreciated poets who self-published and from underrepresented backgrounds. Each issue features voices from around the world and varied backgrounds.

We’re print-only because it feels better that way.
We cherish the craft and wish the only honor poetry as is.
Each volume is designed to be cherished and revisited , a quiet offering for those who find meaning in the little things.

This is a space for poetic minds. A place to read, to reflect, and to return to.

A wooden dock with a bench extends into a calm lake under a cloudy sky.

Editor’s Note
Thank you for being here. Friday Night Library is built with love, late nights, and a deep belief in the power of poetry. For now, this journal is a solo endeavor—edited, designed, and brought to life by one pair of hands, with the hope that more will join in time.
