Preorders make the world go round, although truthfully by “world” one means “tiny press” and by “go round” one means “not go defunct,” which is considerably less catchy. Below are some books that are available or preorder, all signed by their respective authors.

My new microchapbook "All the Little Church Girls' Paper Dolls" from fifth wheel press explores heritage, protest, and violence. You can find it now as part of their pride micro chapbook series. fifthwheelpress.com/pride-series

I feel like

The AI-generated essay pro-AI use ALAS did not receive a good grade from me. Probably because it failed to offer a thesis and respond to the prompt.

Props to the people kissing the poets and taking them out to dinner and walks in spring sunshine and watching the movies with them they’ve been longing to see, and in general & specific ways caring for poets during National Poetry Month. 🌼

Thanks so much for the lovely feature! It was a joy working on this prompt and an honor to work with what @carriganak.bsky.social and @suzchef.bsky.social had created!

I can be dumb, vain, clueless.

grass roots collaborations between artists, shop owners, and presses are how we persist. through local distribution, Australian trans stories cross oceans without steep postage; and through partnership, alliances of support and mutual aid are strengthened and forged. make art. build bonds.

Are we paying our taxes this year or…

AND I DON'T WANT THEM

… I want the whole bolt of love // sending a love poem out today ❤️

a conversation i read years ago that still twists the knife

Returning to one of my drafting habits I had 10-13 years ago, and I love that this is a thing that can happen in one's life.

hi. i got hit with news that was absolutely blindsiding today and am unsure how i am going to pay my bills this month. i started a gofundme. this is really fucking hard for me to do; please share. gofund.me/740396f7e

what do you mean getting stuck at the top of a 23ft tree for the sake of "immersive research" for my writing is not what they meant by "method writing" help me down

The good thing about fixing a poem is you always end up with a second poem

this one by Sara Anam hit like a brick, absolutely had to share this powerful one-two punch

Mary Ruefle

Finally drafting for this. Writing maybe the first good poem I've written in a while. 😂
