Pamphlet (poetry)

A pamphlet or chapbook is a small collection of poetry, usually 15 to 30 poems, centering around one theme.

They are sometimes handmade or saddle-stitched, a format best suited for small print runs.

Compared to a full-length poetry collection, a pamphlet is fairly inexpensive to produce.

In the United States, a poetry pamphlet is called a chapbook.
