March’sbook club pick is NIGHT HAG by Amy Baskin, a collection that resurrects Lilith as a voice of refusal rather than a cautionary tale. These poems hold rage and erotic power in the same breath while interrogating the myths used to label women as monsters. #bookclub

A new community for small press publishers, authors, and readers. Join r/SmallPressBooks.

AWP starts next week. We’re heading to Baltimore with bold books, sharp writers, and zero interest in playing small. You’ll find us at Booth T625, surrounded by poets, novelists, essayists, and literary troublemakers who believe independent publishing still matters.

“Dique” is a word in Dominican Spanish that translates to “supposedly” and is often used in irony. news.utoledo.edu/index.php/02... #book

Ebooks are for readers who want the book now. DOLLARTORIUM by Ron Pullins is a sharp, darkly funny novel about labor, dignity, and the quiet violence of late capitalism—set inside a small-town corndog stand. books2read.com/u/bzzAR2 #LiteraryFiction #WorkingClassStories #LateCapitalism

The AWP merch is officially out in the world for anyone side-eyeing censorship and still showing up for the work. shop.unsolicitedpress.com/products/boo... shop.unsolicitedpress.com/products/boo... shop.unsolicitedpress.com/products/rou... www.unsolicitedpress.com/merch See you on the floor.

AWP: come celebrate bold literary voices. Also AWP: please no protests, vigils, or demonstrations. We read the #AWP26 policy. We’re still attending, but we’re attending under protest. Writers don’t exist to behave politely when something feels wrong. www.unsolicitedpress.com/news/a-writi...

IT’S HERE. Cloistered by Liz Kellebrew launches today. A surreal, cinematic short story collection where reality bends toward the deliciously strange. Buy now → www.unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/clois... #LizKellebrew #Cloistered #shortstories #2026books #UnsolicitedPress

This is your reminder that backlist books don’t “age out.” They outlast. The right book doesn’t expire when the feed moves on. It keeps working on your language, your nervous system, your courage, your ability to name what’s true. Backlist isn’t the past. It’s the foundation.

Books do not appear in isolation. They arrive carrying echoes: of earlier risks taken, questions first asked years ago, and truths the press has been circling all along. At Unsolicited Press, new titles often feel less like departures and more like evolution. asterismbooks.com/blog/post/a-...
