My chapbook has been out in the world for two months, and I realized I never shared this! Thank you to CHEAP POP, Nurture, Flyover Country Magazine (Subs Closed), and The Lumiere Review for giving a beautiful home to the stories that eventually grew into this collection. So grateful for you! 💖

As we work through sonnet submissions, we also want to celebrate some other recent acquisitions. We're looking forward to sharing these poetry chapbooks and prose books! Thanks to Trampoline Poetry, Clara Bush Vadala, Sandra Knisely Barnidge, and John Gifford for trusting us with their work!

'Love at the End of the World' by Lindy Biller is now available for purchase from Amazon and will be soon available at Barnes & Noble! To celebrate, we’re sharing Matt Bell’s introduction to Biller’s prize-winning collection. 🎉

✨✨✨Personal news!✨✨✨
Thrilled to announce that my first book, HIGH PRIESTESS OF THE APOCALYPSE, will be published by ELJ Editions in February 2024. This memoir traces my journey as an activist and activist parent and reckons with how to turn dread into action. 🧵

This still dosent feel real because it’s Mardi Gras season and reality is distorted, but I’m excited nonetheless!

So many writers volunteer their time to make beautiful, smaller lit mags, and I'm so grateful. I had a poem published in Nurture last month. 🙏☀️nurtureliterary.com/post/698516764…

'Miss Rita gently lifts my baby’s fist, smiles lovingly, then releases it almost immediately. 'So sweet. Well, have a good one.''

This DW McKinney piece in Nurture broke my heart. How we live so close to people but know so little about them.

Thank you to Nurture for giving space to my cnf 'The Last Time Miss Rita and I Talk,' which I wrote in honor of my neighbor. I miss her dearly.

'I raised an arm to wipe my forehead but startled to a pause when I noticed the figure in the shadows watching us. The person sat deep in the shade blanketing the house near the mailboxes.'
