We are a Bay Area seedbed for poets who push boundaries in the arts. The Back Room✺ is our multidisciplinary online publishing project. Small Press Traffic (SPT) is a Bay Area seedbed for poets who push boundaries in the arts. Founded in 1974, we connect diverse, multidisciplinary, and intergenerational artists and audiences through readings and performances, online and print publications, and in collaborations with organizations and independent practitioners in the Bay Area and beyond. We prioritize equity, accessibility, and collaboration in our working model, and steward an archive of small press material and audio recordings produced and circulated over the last half century.
