the autumn of books continues!

Friends!

Autumn is my absolute favorite season, so it makes a certain kind of sense, i guess, that almost all of the 2020 releases are launching now, literally one after the other. And on that note…

Firstly, thank you to everyone who ordered and preordered Gag Order! Copies are flying out of the shop almost as fast as i can get them bound! akinoga has never published a more resonate or timely collection and i hope it moves you to exercise your right to VOTE, and to vote against trump.

Secondly, i am incredibly excited to announce at Native Tongue vol. 2: spring / summer is now available for preorder!!! I love the space and stillness in these poems. I love sitting with and in them. I love that Jack knows the Alleghenies as intimately as he does.

I am also so, so thankful the amazingly talented Suzanne Onodera agreed to let us use another of her paintings for the cover of vol. 2. Jack’s poetry and Suzanne’s paintings are inexorably linked for me now; i can’t look at one and not be instantly reminded of the other. I am grateful for that pairing, for the enrichment it imparts. May we all be likewise connected.
