The Poulin Project
a project of the New York State Council on the Arts for New York State libraries

"The Al Poulin, Jr. Independent Publishers Development Project" was established by NYSCA in honor of the late poet, editor, translator and founder of BOA Editions, Ltd. .

In collaboration with the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Literature Program, the DUC runs The Poulin Project, which distributes the work of hundreds of contemporary writers and poets published by New York State independent presses. These books are distributed in predetermined sets of 30 or more titles for free to libraries throughout New York State. The project supports independent publishers by introducing their books to new audiences and new potential markets, while at the same time helping local libraries diversify their collections.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning, nonprofit publisher, BOA Editions, Ltd. is dedicated to fostering readership and the appreciation of poetry through publishing and widespread outreach. BOA is just one of the many independent presses that supply The Poulin Project with books on new writing, essays and poetry each year.
