Cavankerry Press is a a not-for-profit literary press serving art and community, is committed to expanding the reach of poetry and other fine literature to a general readership by publishing works that explore the emotional and psychological landscapes of everyday life, and to bring that art to the underserved where they live, work and receive services.

CavanKerry has been a partner of NJPOL for over 15 years. Each year, CKP donates hundreds of poetry books for participating schools and students to enjoy at the completion of the regional and state competitions. CKP generously provides a scholarship to the State Champion’s mentor to attend Monson Arts: Conference on Poetry and Learning. Held each year in June, the Conference on Poetry and Teaching (CPT) is a unique opportunity for teachers to work closely with both their peers and a team of illustrious poets who have particular expertise in working with teachers at all levels: K–12, graduate and undergraduate, and nontraditional/community-based instructors.
