Releasing two books through @pizamapress.bsky.social in 2026 One is a surrealist semi-autobiographical ekphrastic fever dream One is a meditation and reflection on the strange mundanity of life Both are packed with prose poems

an interim message from our founder, editor, art director, and CEO (me)

Been quiet over here but hard at work behind the scenes! - An excited surprise for later this month - Our 2026 announcement on Jan. 1 - Our AWP Offsite on March 4 - Our next books on May 27

one of our favorite writers, Barton Smock, had some moving things to say about Kiik's debut collection

four slim books you need to read 📚 The Swallowed Man (@riverheadbooks.bsky.social) 📚 McGlue (@fencebooks.bsky.social) 📚 When All Our Days Are Numbered... (Big Lucks) 📚 Why the Child is Cooking in the Polenta (@dalkeyarchive.bsky.social)

trying to track down the author of a novella that doesn't exist in English (yet)...

four novels (under 200 pages) we’re still thinking about 📚 Temporary (Coffee House Press) 📚 Boy with a Black Rooster (The Indigo Press) 📚 Ghosts of East Baltimore (Broken River Books) 📚 Light Boxes (Penguin)

four quick reads you need on your shelf 📚 The Hearing Trumpet (@nyrb-imprints.bsky.social) 📚 Potted Meat (@tarpaulinsky.bsky.social) 📚 Reinhardt’s Garden (@coffeehousepress.bsky.social) 📚 The Deer (@dalkeyarchive.bsky.social)

four novels (under 200 pages) we can’t recommend enough 📚 The Flat Woman (@fictioncollective2.bsky.social) 📚 Grief is the Thing with Feathers (@graywolfpress.bsky.social) 📚 Dan (@dorothyproject.bsky.social) 📚 Henrytown (Graver Goods Press)

speaking it into existence so next month can calm down 😴💆‍♂️ anyone else catching up on reading this fall & winter?

Kiik will be reading some poems this Thursday from the comfort of your couch!

From 2011 to 2015, Edward Mullany released a trilogy of books with @pubgen.bsky.social that we return to often. Tiny poems & microfictions both haunting & hilarious. He ended these 3 books with a trio of novellas (The Three Sunrises), a series of fever dream fables not to be missed.

"Reading this poetry collection is akin to being trapped in a funhouse that is no longer fun but deeply fascinating. So many of these poems need to be revisited in the coming months in order to unlock their full meaning. Fuck, this was great." www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

high praise from @gwoltjer.bsky.social we couldn't have said it better ourselves asterismbooks.com/product/disi...

I can vouch for this statement

Did someone say rare books?!

pros of only releasing 1-2 books a year: sustainable, no burnout, bearable amount of work cons of only releasing 1-2 books a year: if I find something else I want to release, it won't come out until 2028
