PassagerBooks

Passager is a literary organization dedicated to empowering writers over 50 and sharing their poetry and prose with readers. Its publishing program includes Passager Books and Passager Journal, featuring new titles and themed issues, including an annual poetry contest issue. The journal’s contest recognizes selected poets and publishes winning work alongside an interview and honorable mentions.

Passager also produces Burning Bright, a weekly podcast that presents poetry and prose by writers over 50, read by host Jon Shorr. Episodes explore subjects such as aging, history, relationships, childhood, nature, and writing. Readers and writers can find information about submission guidelines, internships, and the organization’s Morgenthau Prize, as well as updates on new publications, events, workshops, and sales through its website and email list.

Passager invites visitors to explore its books, journal, and podcast, participate in its literary activities, and support its work through donations. Together, these offerings provide ways for older writers to share their work and connect with a broader audience
