Book release for Vi Khi Nao’s My Ardent Love for the Pencil is in one week at Powerhouse Arena in Brooklyn! Featuring readings by @giordkat.bsky.social and @ossuary.bsky.social. More details/RSVP here: powerhousearena.com/events/book-...

Look what I picked up yesterday @giordkat.bsky.social

Thumbsucker by @giordkat.bsky.social is 10/10. It is, as Todd Dillard puts it, “one of those bruised, bloody-knuckled, cut-lipped books that has flung itself into life and all its suffering and is here to tell you, dripping in manna and umbra, how it survived.” malarkeybooks.com/store/thumbs...

GOOFUS shows up late and stares at his phone until it’s his turn at the open mic. GALLANT pays attention to all the readers and arrives in time to see the features.

I had read and enjoyed @giordkat.bsky.social’s first couple poetry collections, as well as the novel The Fountain, and so was very excited to get to publish Thunbsucker, which I think is Kat’s best book! malarkeybooks.com/store/thumbs...
