This cover's amazing, this book is amazing, we are so proud -- do your February self a favor and preorder now.

Baby’s first content moderation on a book cover, ahaha. We appealed based on the fact that the cover is not “sexually suggestive,” but abstract.

I’m utterly smitten with this press and this cover. Lucky me, and thank you, @riverriverbooks.bsky.social and @albanfischer.bsky.social 💙💙💙

Also, hello from my cluttered kitchen counter. I have two (2) copies of Field Notes that received VERY light rain damage on the lower back pages in transit home from Punch Bucket Lit, so they cannot be sold, but I’d love to send them out as review copies. Holler at me me if you’d like one. —Han

Your morning reminder that we have a newsletter with cover reveals, coupon codes, author interviews, and more 📚💙

I loved Gina Myers's WORKS AND DAYS, a long poem from the edge of late capitalism. I also just finished Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove which is exquisite and which I started in January and had to put away for a while.

I can’t decide if “enjoy” is the right word for how I feel about this book, but it’s hypnotizing me for sure.

We’ll select two winners later today! 🍂

Shop local and support your independent bookstores and presses 💙📚🙏🥰 We’ll ship to you for free!

Your TBR stack is calling you, it’s whispers like tendrils of ivy. That book on the moon. The graphic novel. Those new poetry books. The Sally Rooney novel you started at the airport 👀📚💙

Don’t buy anything today. ✊ Read a book. Rest as much as you can. (Write a list of things to buy later.) #nobuy #blackfriday 📚💙

Finally finished this anthology. Been thinking a lot about ekphrastic work work, so was good to see some varied examples!

The last book I loved was Cadávar Exquisito by Agustina Bazterrica

This stuck with me — seemingly casual and anecdotal, but (especially taking the author’s note as part of the story) leaving a vivid picture of a life and a person www.ndbooks.com/book/francis...

Cosmic Tantrum by Sarah Lyn Rogers is so good! @sarahlynwrites.bsky.social nupress.northwestern.edu/978081014793...

Natural History by Brandon Kilbourne. A stunning, imaginative, compelling poetry collecting built on history and the need for reconciliation and restitution.

Eve Luckring’s SIGNAL TO NOISE (Ornithopter Press) was so very good! @thetenderbetween.bsky.social @ornithopterpress.bsky.social
