Empty Suit Press

Empty Suit Press is the brainchild of me, Anthony Watkins. I have been a poet since age 5, yes, that means for over 50 years I have been writing poetry. As publisher of Better than Starbucks - not your ordinary poetry magazine, I recently added a new page devoted to experimental poetry. While contemplating creating this new page, I was "inspired" to create a new form. That form led to my newest collection Silent Poems. I am not sure Silent Poems is a great advance in poetry, or even a decent speed bump on the road of poetic thought. I am sure it is unlike anything I have ever written. I am also sure it demands more participation than any poetry I have ever read.

 

This is not meant to be a site to promote only my work, so if you or anyone you know, is writing experimental poetry, I would be interested in reviewing and considering for publication, review or other promoting such work.

​

In fact, We are about to release Games Poets Play. Poetry Games are pretty popular in poetry classes and online poetry groups and have been for sometime, but this collection is the first I have seen collected into a volume. I hope you find the level of poetry in this collection a worthy read. I did.
