"I get the sense that 'bookseller' is Josh Cook’s dream job. It is for a lot of people; it’s an easy job to romanticize. For myself, I do not dream of labor." Revisiting this excellent essay, "There's No Such Thing as a Good Book," in Public Books: www.publicbooks.org/there-is-no-...

A lot of great poets have posted thoughtful, measured, and intelligent responses to the two questions rob posed for this series. And then there’s what I did!

Pierre Joris (1946-2025) From the family: We will gather at main gate, Greenwood Cemetery, 500 25th Street (Fifth Avenue and 25th Street, Brooklyn), on Friday, February 28 at 9:45am and proceed to the gravesite. At 2pm, we will meet at Sunny’s Bar in Red Hook (253 Conover Street, Brooklyn).

These aren’t out officially until April 15, but I have a STACK of them sitting on my desk. Just saying…

Check out this new poetry chapbook from Model Press by Peterborough poet Laurie D. Graham. Her last book Fast Commute was stellar and this is a sneak peek at her next book, due out in 2026. Available now for free at the link below! ryanfitzpatrickca.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

On Book Banning by Ira Wells, published by @biblioasis.bsky.social The Field Notes series design usually show high-contrast b+w siloed photos, but series designs morph over time. I tried an isolated burnt book photo, but it looked insignificant. So I burned the book itself #CoverDesign #BookDesign

With Garth Hudson's passing, as the last living member of the Band, here's a selection from one of my favourite subgenres: the Band Knock-Offs. Often distinguished by artwork that explicitly cites the Band's self-titled 1969 album, I keep these in a the playlist called "70s Sepia Folk Rock Gems."

On the one hand, it’s very exciting to see review copies of my book showing up on people’s social media feeds; on the other hand, holy fuck it’s terrifying!

Extremely sad news for readers & writers of poetry, & all who care about small press publishing: New Star Books must wind down its operations. New Star has given us the careers of so many poets—our most crucial poets. Devastating failure of public funding. newstarbooks.com/news/

One of the most important books of 2025–Stephanie Anderson’s new WOMEN IN INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, a collection of interviews mapping so much uncovered ground in small press literary publishing. www.unmpress.com/978082636707...
