Copies are made available to contributing poets (and their friends) at a special rate. Copies ordered at the special rate cannot picked up at any of our scheduled readings.

Copies ordered at the special rate can take up to 15 days to be fulfilled.

  • The special rate per copy is ALWAYS our actual cost of each volume (includes tax).
  • Orders at the special rate can be made from March 1 to April 15 the year of publication, or as extended in special circumstances, as was the case of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Contributing Poets may order unlimited copies at the special rate.
  • The Publisher makes no profit on sales at this special rate.
  • Poets are never required to buy a copy or pay any fee in order to have poems published in the annual.
  • A FREE copy of both volumes of the annual (plus the Kids! SDPA) is available in PDF. Visit our Free PDF page to view and/or download.
  • The PDF serves as the complimentary copy to contributing poets.  It will be available for viewing/downloading on March 1 each year — our official publication date.
  • The annual is sponsored by the San Diego Entertainment & Arts Guild (SDEAG), a 501(c)(3) local arts non-profit. All purchases are therefore tax-deductible.
  • Copies NOT pre-paid are offered at the retail price.

Please consult the events page for a list of and updates about our scheduled readings — and look for e-mails from SDPA Regional Editors and the Executive Staff. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay in the know!
