Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM EST	Timothy Hillegonds/And You Will Call It Fate In And You Will Call It Fate, Timothy J. Hillegonds explores an eight-year relationship with Sean Dempsey, a charismatic yet volatile former NFL player turned entrepreneur who profoundly reshaped the trajectory of Hillegonds’s life. Set against the backdrop of Chicago’s financial district, the memoir follows Hillegonds—a high school dropout, struggling addict, and estranged father—as he unexpectedly enters the high-stakes world of finance under Dempsey’s intense mentorship. A troubling undercurrent of manipulation and control soon belies Dempsey’s initially supportive mentorship. As he considers the devastating two-year lawsuit through which he broke free, Hillegonds thoughtfully explores the complicated bonds formed when gratitude intersects with obligation, and harm with healing. Part workplace memoir and part nuanced meditation on masculinity, power, and redemption, Hillegonds’s tightly crafted narrative asks the reader to consider a difficult question: How does one reconcile the debts owed to those who simultaneously save and harm us?

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 3:30 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Shann Ray/Where Blackbirds Fly A novel in five novellas, Where Blackbirds Fly offers a prismatic deep dive into the human heart through fierce narratives of intimacy both lovely and heartbreaking. Countering social upheavals, Shann Ray affirms the power of empathy, the wisdom of wilderness, and the felt presence of divine mystery echoed in the recurring appearances of blackbirds, as if etching flight patterns of mercy over the landscapes of human life. John Sender and Samantha Valeria Arrarás seek love in the financial industry, their initial attraction leading to unforeseen perils that will echo in those who enter and exit their lives. The characters of this novel form a compelling cross section of humanity met with revelation, suffering, and possibility. With spare and muscular prose, luminosity, and psychological grace, Ray weaves a tapestry as multihued as America in a vision of love’s transgressive power.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM EST	Kimberly Ann Priest/Wolves in Shells Winner of the Backwaters Prize in Poetry Wolves in Shells is a modern monomyth telling the story of a woman navigating homelessness, trauma, and memories as she attempts to leave a violent partner. Reflecting on her familial heritage, this survivor grapples with the way she, the women of her history, and her daughter have been conditioned to accommodate the demands of the male ego and predation. Reflective, clear-eyed, and incisive, the poems of Wolves in Shells feature O-Six, a wolf born into the rewilding territory of Yellowstone National Park in the 1990s who serves as a metaphor for women who must cope with violence and survive on their own. Drawing from Gaston Bachelard’s quote “wolves in shells are crueler than stray ones,” the narrative considers how survival requires a balance of protectiveness, risk, trust, and escape.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM EST	Book Signing with Carol Mavor: "Like the Sea: Dancing with Mary Glass" Mary Glass (1946–2021) was an innovative modern dancer and choreographer, quietly instrumental to the San Francisco Bay Area art scene of the 1960s and ’70s—barely known today—admired for her experimental movements based on sounds and images of the Pacific. As a child, Mary Glass took her first dance class with Anna Halprin on her famed redwood dance deck in Marin County’s Kent Woodlands. Dancing with the blue sky as her ceiling—surrounded by magical madrones and redwoods—the effect on Mary Glass was seismic. Fittingly, Halprin called her classes “dance experiences.” Mary Glass’s lifestyle, her anxieties, and her dance reflect the human geography of Northern California: Happenings, Zero Population Growth (ZPG), feminism, same-sex love, civil rights, Vietnam, environmentalism. Cascading in the waves of the politics of the time was Mary Glass’s anorexia, an unexpected pregnancy, and her life-long love affair with the Black painter Eliza Vesper. Today Mary Glass is remembered by an increasingly diminishing handful of devotees. Author Carol Mavor is one of them.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Brad Johnson Book Signing: Smuggling Elephants Through Airport Security (MSU Press/Wheelbarrow Books, 2020) Meet/greet and signing with Brad Johnson, author of Smuggling Elephants Through Airport Security, winner of the 2018 Wheelbarrow Books Poetry Prize (selected by Carolyn Forché) Nothing is off-limits in this ultimately American text. Smuggling Elephants through Airport Security attempts to position large academic ideas in shared public spaces, often discovering the absurdity and humor in making such connections. The poems herein take the dizzying influences affecting the post-postmodern American and make poetry of it all, skipping whimsically from the Pixies to Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” from the Confederate flag to unisex public toilets, from eggplant emojis to Vladimir Putin stealing Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring. While the volume gives the reader a specific sense of voice and character, it also allows for identification with the author’s collected observations, all the while providing a succinct feel for the twenty-first-century American zeitgeist.

In these pages, a young woman from the rural South longs to be abducted by aliens; a female sasquatch spies on human families and pines for love; a Chinese spy balloon is heartbroken by being shot down. Through these personas and a host of strange happenings from American folklore, Cryptid probes the longing for something more buried at the heart of the lives of women and those deemed “other” by an unjust world. By turns irreverently funny, grotesquely bodily, and eerily heartbreaking, Cryptid insists on the beauty of the unseen and the disbelieved.

The poems move with the gravity of pilgrimage, their compass set between wandering and witness, as they cross from ballfields and shipyards into the charged realms of myth and ritual. Evans’s gift lies in how the ordinary gathers its own divinity: persimmon seeds split to forecast winter, a grandmother’s weed-eater gospel, Camaro burnouts paired with tarot, psalms rising as pelicans wheel into sudden sky. In this light Nine Persimmons reveals how the most unassuming corners of existence sometimes hold the deepest truths.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST	Searches When it was released to the public in November 2022, ChatGPT awakened the world to a secretive project: teaching AI-powered machines to write. Its creators had a sweeping ambition—to build machines that not only could communicate but also could do all kinds of other activities, and better than humans ever could. But was this goal actually achievable? And if reached, would it lead to our liberation or our subjugation? Vauhini Vara, an award-winning tech journalist and editor, had long been grappling with these questions. In 2021, she asked a predecessor of ChatGPT to write about her sister’s death, resulting in an essay that was both more moving and more disturbing than she could have imagined. It quickly went viral. The experience, revealing both the power and the danger of corporate-owned technologies, forced Vara to interrogate how these technologies have influenced her understanding of herself and the world around her—from discovering online chat rooms as a preteen to using social media as The Wall Street Journal’s first Facebook reporter to asking ChatGPT for writing advice—while compelling her to add to the trove of human-created material exploited for corporate financial gain. Interspersed throughout this investigation are her own Google searches, Amazon reviews, and the other raw material of internet life—including the viral AI experiment that started it all. Searches illuminates how technological capitalism is both shaping and exploiting human existence while proposing that by harnessing the collective creativity that makes humans unique, we might imagine a freer, more empowered relationship with our machines and, ultimately, with one another.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM EST	Konbit Konbit is a Haitian Creole word, a way of living, for which there is no direct translation in the English language. It captures the communal life in Haiti and is used for every event where neighbors are called upon to help each other. These poems revolve around the Bois-Caïman ceremony (the first konbit) when enslaved people in Saint-Domingue vowed to fight for their independence. The ceremony is both real and a stand-in for climate change. Like our society, everything around enslaved people in Saint-Domingue was created to uphold the status quo. Imagining an alternative would have been seen as futile. Yet, they did. This collection is an attempt to do the same, to imagine a future beyond colonialism, imperialism, and climate catastrophe. With poems influenced by and in conversation with Tyehimba Jess, Natasha Trethewey, Derek Walcott, Shara McCallum, and Adrian Matejka, Sony Ton-Aime aims to provide a new language to articulate our common past, present, and future.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM EST	Goat-Footed Gods In her sixth collection Goat-Footed Gods, award-winning poet, essayist, and teacher Kathleen Driskell seeks to rehabilitate the reputation of the infamous Goatman of Pope Lick, identified by The Washington Post as one of the deadliest cryptids in America. The Goatman or Pope Lick Monster, a legendary creature long rumored to roam the woods around Driskell’s Kentucky home, is alleged to have caused the deaths of at least five young people at Pope Lick Trestle, a railroad bridge with a ninety-foot drop at its center. The Goatman lyrics are braided with poems about Driskell’s child’s traumatic injury from a fall. Always at the heart of Driskell’s poetry is her insistence that the path to the sacred is found not through the doctrine of ancient gods, but in walking clear-eyed through the dark woods of our historical past and exploring the never-ending wonder of the natural world.

Here are sprays of flowers and hungry alligators, lethal snakes, and a baby’s first breath. Here are poems that reckon with death, but for the sake of life.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM EST	No (translated from the Spanish) In No, Idea Vilariño strips poetry to its essence—distilling love, loss, and the inexorable passage of time into spare yet searing verses. Renowned as a leading voice of Uruguay’s “Generation of 45,” Vilariño’s final collection is at once a defiant refusal and an unrelenting assertion of existence. From its stark nihilism emerges a poetic voice that insists on being heard, even as it denies life’s joys. Now available in English for the first time, No has been masterfully translated by María José Zubieta, in collaboration with poet and musicologist J. Martin Daughtry. This bilingual edition preserves Vilariño’s rhythmic precision and existential intensity, giving readers a rare glimpse into a body of work that continues to resonate far beyond its origins. No is a testament to the power of poetry to confront the void, and to carve meaning from silence.

The movie cracked something open in him, with its romantic European setting and its charming, intelligent protagonists, who fall in love with each other over the course of a day spent wandering the streets of Vienna. Within the movie’s story seemed to lie a promise: that you could truly be known by another person, that a relationship could be a never-ending conversation with someone who was both interested and interesting.

If you miss us at the fair, join us at Red Emma's, Friday, March 6 at 6pm for a reading and another opportunity to get your book signed. Dopplegangbanger, rendered as the A- and B-sides of an album of poems, re-imagines and remixes American politics of the 90s, the Obama era, and today via a hip-hop blerd's investigation of a hi/lo culture of American crime. It's Important I Remember“History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes.” In his sweeping third collection, Charleston brings a poet’s ear for echo and rhythm to bear on American history and life after 2016. For Charleston, these rhymes cut two ways: the long tradition of American racism and fascism, and the steady pulse of Black persistence. The collection’s titular invocation frames each poem, at times an oratory to rally a crowd, in other moments a private prayer whispered as the speaker gathers himself to face another day. Charleston insists that should we cede memory of our national biography—whether to repression or indifference—we will witness the country’s dissolution into something unrecognizable to many, yet all too familiar to its most marginalized people. But with each reiteration and riff, he also invokes a tenuous hope—that if we summon an American history of Black resistance, we might still make a more perfect union.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST	Julie Marie Wade signing: Other People's Mothers Other People’s Mothers is a collection of interconnected, autobiographical essays that explore the relationship between a daughter, her mother, and the other mothers present in their lives. In this coming-of-age memoir, Julie Marie Wade traces a nexus of female influences on her formative years in the ’80s and ’90s. Through words and actions, the women around her communicate powerful and often contradictory messages about class, religion, education, and morality, holding enormous power over Wade’s journey toward adulthood. In expanding her exploration of motherhood and daughterhood to include these “other mothers,” Wade takes a new and surprising kaleidoscopic approach to her portrayals of family life. This book reveals a young woman in the late twentieth century grappling with gendered expectations, beauty and body ideals, and complex messages about who she is permitted—or destined—to become.

It asks how we can continue to learn, teach, and live when nothing changes in response to these deaths. It attempts to speak into silence, to look at the pain of those who have come through trauma, and to meet their gazes without platitudes or triumphalism.

Kerry Neville shares the story of how she was caught in the perfect storm of bipolar disorder, anorexia, and alcoholism when her children were young and her marriage failing and how she found her way back to joy and hope. Electric shock therapy, hospitalizations, and even an exorcism were desperate, if failed, lifelines. But even in that dark chaos, she held fast to an abiding belief in love and fought to regain her own life and her life with her children.

A nine-year-old watches as his dead father’s possessions are hauled away: his clothes and tools, his faux-leather recliner. His sensei says it’s a perfect time to turn his weaknesses into weapons. His PE teacher says he runs like a pregnant ostrich. His mother takes out a personals ad. Everyone is trying to teach him a lesson but he is, it seems, a slow learner. Meanwhile, with each passing day, his father recedes, growing less and less plausible, almost a myth. Twenty-five years later, adrift in suburban Southern California, married with a son of his own, he’s still trying to sort through the fragments of his father’s death while imparting his own sketchy education onto his son. Which snakes are poisonous? Why did I tell him that Candyland is based on a true story? Why has he stopped asking me to go skateboarding with him and his friends? After discovering a travel journal he didn’t know his father kept, he and his son light out on a road trip, retracing the father’s mystifying journey. As he strains to decipher his father’s notes, his relationship with his son begins to take on new heft and shape. With wit and compassion, award-winning author Kevin Moffett’s debut novel delivers a bracingly intimate account of fatherhood, and discovery, and the experiences of two men far from home.

The Future is a book about time. The tender, vulnerable, and bitingly funny poems of Monica Ferrell’s third collection confront the hours as they stream by, our relatively brief lives that feel so long while we are living them, successive generations and the unwinding story of our species, and the bewilderingly vast geological age of the planet. Traveling across eras, through ice ages to the eighteenth century and the modern day of Ozempic and chatbots, these poems also square up to the obscurity of what comes next as they peer forward into time still to come.

If You Would Let Me uses the myth of Persephone and Demeter to explore, in an utterly contemporary idiom, the hellish descents and unequivocal love of a mother and an adolescent child. The old story is reimagined in new terms—a present-day Persephone’s cycles of psychic affliction giving rise to botched facial piercings, social media ghostings, and squalls of physical fury—and revoiced in poems that sing Demeter’s rage, the depths of maternal grief, the seasons of erasure and renewal.

ALICE LAPLANTE is the author of the craft books The Lab, The Making of a Story, and Write Yourself Out of a Corner as well as the New York Times best-selling novel Turn of Mind.

This new book from Adroit Managing Editor Chris Crowder, The Kin of Nakedness interrogates the ethics of complaining and self-work beginning with a lens focused on body image. Structured by sections that complicate the biblical definitions of servitude—being Christ’s hands and feet—and a long ars poetica, the speaker risks toward honesty as he explores his struggles and privileges as a Black and biracial man. “Digging for everything I have to write into my flesh,” Crowder works to witness the harm done to himself and others who are competing for recognition. Seeking to understand these internal and external struggles, he embodies characters, including benched quarterbacks and Jimmy Fallon, while reckoning with fractured subjects like greedy pastors and alternate universes.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a book-length sequence of 53 poems with identical eponymous titles. Heartbreaking and searingly lucid, this debut collection from poet Matthew Tuckner chronicles his best friend’s illness and subsequent death from cancer. Its brilliance is not only in recognizing the vastness and particularity of grief — how the loss of a beloved is so personally all encompassing that it splits time irrevocably, separating our personal history into distinct eras of before and after as the governing principles of our lives crumble — but also in joining the discrete experience of one person’s sickness to a carcinogenic imperial core, the late-capitalist global order that ensnares all people in toxic landscapes that make us sick.

Organized as an alphabetical bestiary, Seabeast lyrically catalogues whale species by common name and behaviors, resulting in a poetic compendium that defies pathetic fallacy even as it sings the similarities between homo sapiens and the marine mammoths that have long captured our fascination. In his fifth full-length collection, Rajiv Mohabir winds together the threads of cetacean evolution, natural history, animal migration, and human culture and colonization as they concern the endurance of all species. In anthropomorphizing these complex mammals, Mohabir argues, we overwrite and erase their sublime difference and selfhood, their distinct and separate experience of embodiment; yet, in refusing to recognize the familiarities of whale behavior and social patterns, we subjugate these magnificent creatures, affirming a hierarchy that establishes anything inhuman as inherently less than human and enabling cruelty toward all manner of living things.

Dislocated in her own skin after a sexual assault, Isabella DeSendi wrestles with the thorny border between desire and appetite in her incandescent debut collection. Poised between her Cuban matrilineage and her first-generation adolescence in America, between assimilation and reclamation, between owning her own cravings and becoming a sacrifice to “someone else’s hunger,” these poems dissect our human obsession with beauty and the body. The poems in this collection use the lyric form to enact destruction and reparation as they attempt to reverse the vector of aesthetic power toward grace. Because Someone Else’s Hunger is beautiful, devastatingly so, it surveys violence, romance, eating disorders, structural racism, and socioeconomic inequality, all while yearning to still find beauty everywhere.

Written in the wake of the media storm surrounding the revelation of the Sarah Lawrence cult, interrogating the constructs of confessionalism and journalistic epistemology after the release of memoirs and viral articles and a Hulu docu-series, Worms, Dirt considers the soil beneath the story playing out aboveground. These poems are a unique telling of two kinds of departure – leaving a cult and exiting a relationship. They weave together fragments and elisions of memory — “Was any of it right? Did any of it happen the way / You remembered?” — reverse engineering a story from the aftermath — “The piece you still can’t find. It must be true. He was // Gentle. Sometimes, he was gentle.” Devastating and open-hearted, these pages transcribe transformation and reconstruction of self, survival, reckoning. They confront the intimate betrayals of belonging to a high-control group or seeking love from the wrong romantic relationships. These lyrics confront horror and a fragile hope in their recognition of this inconceivable thing, the soft flesh smothered by the scar: “The hands’ capacity / For gentleness even as you watched them, in disbelief, dismantle you.” Exhibitor Name : Four Way Books Booth Number: 1175	Exhibitor Name : Four Way Books Booth Number: 1175	2026030715:0016:00 000	SAT, MAR 7

What does it mean to be a body behind a screen, lost in the hustle of an online world? In our age of digital hyper-connection, Athena Dixon invites us to consider this question with depth, heart, and ferocity, investigating the gaps that technology cannot fill and confronting a lifetime of loneliness. Living alone as a middle-aged woman without children or pets and working forty hours a week from home, more than three hundred fifty miles from her family and friends, Dixon begins watching mystery videos on YouTube, listening to true crime podcasts, and playing video game walk-throughs just to hear another human voice. She discovers the story of Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died alone, her body remaining in front of a glowing television set for three years before the world finally noticed. Searching for connection, Dixon plumbs the depths of communal loneliness, asking essential questions of herself and all of us: How have her past decisions left her so alone? Are we, as humans, linked by a shared loneliness? How do we see the world and our place in it? And finally, how do we find our way back to each other? Searing and searching, The Loneliness Files is a groundbreaking memoir in essays that ultimately brings us together in its piercing, revelatory examination of how and why it is that we break apart.

Journalist and late-in-life virgin Amanda McCracken dated over 100 men by the time she was in her late thirties. She was so certain she was doing everything she could to find the loving, lasting relationship she wanted. So why wasn’t it working? After another breakdown in her therapist’s office, she came to a startling realization: she was addicted to longing. This realization was part of a 10-year journey to understand the cultural, neurological, and psychological factors that shaped her beliefs about love, sex, and commitment. She began to understand that longing for someone feels good. It can even feel better than being in a secure relationship. Longing can provide a sense of control when life is uncertain and offers a safe place to hide from emotional vulnerability, especially in today’s online dating and hookup world. But longing can trigger an addictive neurochemical boost that can derail us from forming healthy, intimate relationships. In this searingly honest book, Amanda shares the crushes, relationships, situationships, travel, friendships, hookups, bad dates, wins, losses, and brushes with fate that came with her journey. Starting with her early childhood hero fantasies and how they evolved in her tween and teen years into a commitment to the purity movement espoused at her church, she chronicles her profound longing for love that led her to her lowest point. She provides a deep, exploratory look into the state of mind known as limerence: an obsessive rumination on an idealized version of someone. Amanda weaves together her personal journey with research, storytelling, soul-searching questions, and quotes from experts and nonexperts alike to reveal the addictive nature of longing while providing hope through her journey of breaking her patterns and ultimately choosing the path towards healthy, authentic intimacy.

As mothers, how do we carry life and death in our bodies and survive with our hearts intact? The Heart Folds Early is a story of transformation through tragedy, and an examination of the way in which great loss can make us simultaneously fearful and intrepid. Emerging from a childhood that included both devastating sexual abuse and the sustaining joy of being deeply (if imperfectly) loved, Jill Christman’s sights were set on building and protecting her own happy family—until her fiancé was killed in a car accident. Christman folds the mournful recklessness of the young widow she was against the backdrop of her later marriage and new motherhood, including the choice to end a half-term pregnancy when a routine ultrasound revealed her baby boy had just half a heart. Courageous, clear-eyed, tender, and unexpectedly funny, Christman’s book reflects on her life and asks: What happens when we’re afraid the worst thing will happen and then, sometimes, it does? What does it mean to make and live with a heartrending choice? How do we carry life and death in our bodies and survive with our hearts intact?

Throughout the collection, Sue William Silverman focuses on pivotal, often fleeting moments that defined the course of her life, such as a fraught family vacation; an evening watching the Chippendale dancers’ extravaganza; a Pac-Man-and-whisky-fueled rumination on failed relationships; and the way melodramatic movies such as Rome Adventure shape an adolescent’s idea of love. Ranging from short to flash to micro length, these emotionally courageous writings imbue minimalist forms with maximalist emotions and an unrepentant, no-holds-barred attitude. Each action explored in this collection produces the Butterfly Effect—seemingly quotidian events rippling into emotional tsunamis.

Throughout the novel, the three friends’ day jobs in a failing independent bookstore, a sterile gallery in downtown Manhattan, and miscellaneous living rooms across the Long Island birthday-party-clown circuit interweave with their attempts to come to terms with their precarity, gender-dysphoric embodiment, and the floating dream of collective liberation. Spanning one year and told through an obsessive first-person present tense, Slow Guillotine brings the bildungsroman structure through the autofictional looking glass, questioning how “coming of age” could be feasible in a society of debtors, wage laborers, and renters.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Melissa Fraterrigo/The Perils of Girlhood Like many girls growing up in the eighties and nineties, Melissa Fraterrigo leaned on popular culture to transition from childhood to adolescence and beyond. Judy Blume told stories about girls embracing their imperfections; Madonna encouraged bold moves. But Fraterrigo’s experiences with dating and attempts to refashion her body through diet and exercise left her feeling far from empowered. It wasn’t until Fraterrigo became a mother to twin daughters and they began their own self-criticisms that she questioned how she might help them navigate their own girlhoods. A handsome swim coach’s advances, an anxious daughter soothing her father’s temper, the history of Mace, and the joy of female friendship: these are some of the memories that shape Fraterrigo’s worldview as an adult. Written with lyricism and insight, The Perils of Girlhood provides a reckoning and a reclamation. And while these personal narratives developed from Fraterrigo’s desire to guide her daughters, their universal truths compel us to consider how best to bring all of our daughters into the future.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM EST	Dean Marshall Tuck/Twinless Twin Twinless Twin finds a family maimed by a troubled, enigmatic son, whose unspeakable actions leave the family reeling, torn between moving on and searching for answers. A twin who survives their sibling twin may sometimes be plagued with lifelong feelings of loss, guilt, and even a strange sense of urgency—a need to live two lives in one. In this story, the tragedy of the lost child reverberates through the surviving sibling and ripples through the rest of the family and beyond. Set largely in twentieth-century America in the foothills of an unnamed mountain, this insular landscape breeds rumor, legend, desperation, daydreams, and a mystery that runs deeper than the family who inhabits its woods. Raising questions regarding culpability in the face of tragedy and the responsibilities of those who remain after a family has been splintered, Twinless Twin ultimately asks: What must be done to salvage the family, their reputation, and their homeplace?

Kemple shows a father moving forward despite it all with the generosity and grace to love and be loved. He’s the teacher who gives hitchhiking students a lift to the mall, the dad who chaperones Girl Scout fieldtrips, the husband who clings to the last flame of his wife’s life. A man who stayed open to “rocks, sea glass, / shells and pinecones. Small things we / might have passed into his big hands.” Exhibitor Name : Chestnut Review Booth Number: 741	Exhibitor Name : Chestnut Review Booth Number: 741	2026030609:0010:30 000	FRI, MAR 6

Told through Chutki’s eyes, we feel the innocence that is childhood, allowing the gratitude for a crust of bread thrown away by her brothers, or the simple joy in making prank phone calls. We meet characters, such as the father who curses their mother for giving him useless girls, the brothers who don’t seem to appreciate the luxury of education. But we also meet the loving grandfather, Dada, who will die and watch over them like a star in the sky and their beautiful, beautiful mother, Ammi, who does what she can to make all of their lives bearable. Exquisitely written with a jeweler’s eye for detail, the deftest of hands with characterization and storytelling, this is a brilliant and unforgettable read. ?

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Jennifer Sperry Steinorth \| Boys Behind Glass \| Meet the Author! Join us for a book signing with Jennifer Sperry Steinorth, celebrating the launch of BOYS BEHIND GLASS. Stop by to meet the author, have your copy signed, and learn more about this compelling new multi-modal work. ----- Boys Behind Glass is a cheeky documentary of contemporary masculinity through the lens of matchmaking, pop culture, scientific “progress” and female gaze. This third collection from Jennifer Sperry Steinorth continues a trajectory of genre-bending poetry, this time in collaboration with artist Jenny Walton, whose documentary series Match/Enemy creates a visual algorithm of her experience on OKCupid and explores how men-seeking-women represent themselves via anonymity. In the first half of the book, watercolor portraits of single men are paired with irreverent “sonnets” gazing into the mind of a fictional woman looking at the men, looking for love. The second half is a maximalist kaleidoscope, masquerading as elaborate end notes, a diagnostic of loneliness through a wiki-esque labyrinth of technology and iconography. The culmination is a carousal of sex, selfies, heroes, and techies, what we long for & the many ways we hide. ----- JENNIFER SPERRY STEINORTH’s books include Boys Behind Glass, A Wake with Nine Shades, and Her Read, A Graphic Poem, recipient of the Texas Institute of Letters’ Fred Whitehead Award and a Foreword Reviews Bronze Prize in Poetry. Her poetry has appeared at The Cincinnati Review, Denver Quarterly Review, Kenyon Review, The Massachusetts Review, Missouri Review, Pleiades, Plume, and TriQuarterly. She has been awarded grants & fellowships from the University of Michigan, Yale, Vermont Studio Center, Community of Writers and elsewhere. She lectures at the University of Michigan and is at work on a biography of C.D. Wright. ----- Washington D.C. artist JENNY WALTON holds an MFA from American University. Her work has been critically reviewed and shown in New York, Miami, Boston, Seattle and Italy. Her awards include grants from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities, Vermont Studio Center and Pyramid Atlantic Art Center.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST	Hemicrania In Hemicrania, poet Therese Gleason reaches out through the “half-headed pain” of the migraineur, despite (or rather, because of) “her head a cracked bell/ that wouldn’t stop ringing.” Like the two halves of the brain, this chapbook succeeds by dualities. Both thematically cohesive and formally expansive, Hemicrania tells the story, on one side, of the mostly male failures of medicine, and on the other, of the matrilineal inheritance of suffering “which women must endure.” Borrowing language from medicine but wholly rooted in poetry, the Patient is both reduced to the base elements of piss, salt, bile, and snot and elevated to the mystic, ghostly realm of saints, incantation, and prayer. Gleason asks “what angel, message, lesson” can be found in suffering. But even if, in the end, the Patient resigns, “I’m no more chosen than I am god/forsaken,” the poet has made from her suffering this simultaneously delicate and explosive contribution to the literature of women’s chronic pain. —Cynthia Marie Hoffman, author of Exploding Head Exhibitor Name : Chestnut Review Booth Number: 741	Exhibitor Name : Chestnut Review Booth Number: 741	2026030616:0017:00 000	FRI, MAR 6

In a world where media is often silenced by censorship, this collection offers a rare, unfiltered account of the rise of banditry in Arewa—an aftermath of the Boko Haram insurgency. Told through a deeply personal lens, the poems—both lyrical and cinematic—confront the terror of kidnapping, the trauma of loss, and the uncertainty of survival. As each piece lays bare the wounds of a broken system—where even retaliation becomes a life sentence—the people are left with a haunting question: Will Arewa and its people survive these atrocities?

In poems and contextual comments, 61 contemporary poets focus on military damages to the ecosystems on six continents and the moon. Framed by a cogent introduction and a pair of forewords, one on the poetry and the other on global consequences, the poems are accompanied by a tally of ecological costs and a set of thought-provoking discussion and writing prompts for teens and adults. This compelling anthology alerts readers to environmental degradation of our planet while affirming nature’s resilience and regeneration. The anthology covers almost two millennia, beginning with the Marcomannic Wars (167–180 CE) and ending with the 21st-century wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The conflicts and concomitant environmental damage addressed by the poems are international in scope. Convergence includes ninety poems, each paired with an Author’s Note.

Martha’s Daughter is the brilliant and influential author David Haynes’s first short story collection and the first time that Haynes’s stories have ever been assembled in one volume. Steeped in everyday gossip and lives, this collection ranges from the magically real life of a city’s crumbling superhero to a rundown motel whose long-term guests are lucky to call home. In the titular novella the first hours are chronicled after Cynthia finds out her mother has died. What we learn is that Cynthia is a woman who has been bullied by her mother’s overbearing opinions, her disdain for difference, her respectability politics, and her outdated beliefs about how men and women should relate to one another. Martha’s death is less a catalyst for Cynthia’s grief than an opportunity to free herself of a burden too long endured. The sixth in McSweeney’s Of the Diaspora series, Martha’s Daughter is another record in David’s oeuvre, of the people and places he’s been recording since the beginning of his career, some thirty years ago. With its full-circle connection to David’s previous novels, Martha’s Daughter is guaranteed to enthrall longtime fans and new readers alike.

Sebald, A Journey to Al Ramel tells the story of Benard St. Martin, a young Parisian who, disguised as a Berber woman and in the company of Berber guides, sets out on September 13th, 1930, to be the first European in the modern era to reach Al Ramel, a long-abandoned trading post in the Spanish Sahara. Inspired by earlier writers and adventurers, St. Martin wants to find out what he's made of, but he has been warned, in a letter written by Isabelle, a mysterious traveler who dies before he is born, that catastrophe lies ahead. Afraid that he is being followed, he nevertheless journeys deeper and deeper into the contested territory and, with each step, becomes more and more dislocated, seemingly finding himself in the desert and in a malevolent café in Vienna, in the desert and scrambling for his life down the side of a mountain in Cyprus, in the desert and in the a jungle near a factory that churns out human skulls day and night, and more. Increasingly ill, yet determined to reach his destination, St. Martin becomes more and more unstuck, more and more entwined with the lives of Sir Richard Francis Burton, Arthur Rimbaud, and other travelers caught up in savage pilgrimages to nowhere.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM EST	The Strophes of Job It's 1907, and a terrible snow storm rages across the Midwest, burying a rural community but also revealing its citizens' closely guarded secrets. Two farm families - the Johnsons and the Fryes - struggle while their women fight to give birth during the storm. The only midwife must decide which mother and which baby to help, if she is able to make it through the deepening snow at all. The difficult and dangerous births force a host of people to risk going out in the storm, which has turned the familiar countryside into a strange and confusing landscape. Meanwhile, the snow storm has emboldened a band of coyotes that normally stays close to the mysterious and forbidding Hollis Woods, where thirty years before the Hollis children disappeared one by one without a trace. Their ghosts haunt the woods still, say locals. But it turns out everyone has a past that haunts them, and the relentless storm provides the perfect canvas for painting memories and images best left forgotten. The Strophes of Job is a prequel to multi-award-winning Crowsong for the Stricken, a Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Book of 2017 ("strange and beautiful," starred review).

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Catherine Carter- By Stone and Needle Shimmering to the pulse of the unseen, By Stone and Needle circles like a compass needle around the figure of the witch. Catherine Carter concocts a book of secular spells and incantations for engaging with, and meditating upon, a world in which all things are connected, in which symbol slides into literal, spirituality into science, exact observation into lamentation and love. The poems in By Stone and Needle spin connecting threads between night sweats, witch drownings, creation stories, pedicures, goddesses—and, especially, between miraculously interconnected ecosystems and the forces that threaten them. Speakers encompass personae including lactobacilli bacteria, bodily yeasts, and the classical witch Medea, while elsewhere a contemporary version of the goddess Artemis appears in Appalachia. Carter’s poetic vision imbues everyday moments such as putting on a coat, piercing an ear, confronting racism and patriarchy, or eating onion slices with a new definition of magic as “the human thing.” Exhibitor Name : LSU Press Booth Number: 834	Exhibitor Name : LSU Press Booth Number: 834	2026030515:0016:00 000	THU, MAR 5

While the “generic husband” of the cultural imagination has remained relatively static, the reality of the husband in contemporary marriage proves multidimensional and complex. Alternatively tender and bitingly funny, Rebecca Hazelton’s poems unpack the inequities created by gender, power, and patriarchal legacies, unraveling what a “husband” can be, both personally and culturally.

Flash-fiction master Grant Faulkner and photographer Gail Butensky have partnered to create this unique narrative made up of stories alongside edge-of-the-world photography. The book tells of two lovers taking a reckless, searching road trip through the American West. Dawn is a photographer who captures desert landscapes. Jonny drives just to drive, running away from the end of time or running toward the end of time, looking for a home even as his restlessness overtakes him. By turns funny, poignant, and heartbreaking, something out there in the distance is big in emotions while brief in words. An extraordinary collaboration between word and image, Dawn and Jonny’s journey transports us to a place, achingly familiar, populated by love, loss, and wonder.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Carol Ann Davis - Songbird Join us for a signing with Carol Ann Davis! About Songbird: Utilizing the short lyric poem in long sequence, Songbird addresses matters both urgent and ancient: what it is to grow from a child into an adult, how to remain inside one's body, what it means to open the mouth and sing. Guided by the images, senses, and sounds provided to her by the natural world, the poet invents a stuttering natal language to approach the unsayable aspects of interior life. In doing so, the poems collectively trouble the binaries that beset modern existence: the simultaneous push-pull of sexual desire; the interior and exterior landscapes that shape our perceptual fields; the reckoning of violence with beauty; the human need for both permanency and flight. Songbird is a daring and necessary book. Exhibitor Name : Wesleyan University Press Booth Number: 1230	Exhibitor Name : Wesleyan University Press Booth Number: 1230	2026030515:0016:00 000	THU, MAR 5

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Camille T. Dungy - America, A Love Story Join us for a signing with Camille T. Dungy! About America, A Love Story: America, A Love Story is Camille T. Dungy's powerful testament to living and loving as a Black woman and mother in today's America, and her first book of poetry in almost a decade. Piercingly honest and deeply compassionate, this poetry moves through the mounting griefs of contemporary American life with unwavering clarity. The book is part indictment, part celebration—full of gratitude, fear, resistance, and hope. Dungy explores intimacy, parenting, racism, history, and the natural world with clarity and depth. Some poems reflect on the past; others respond to the work of contemporary Black artists. Many are formally playful, including a series of 700-character poems inspired by the 700 hours of sleep a mother loses in her child's first year. Gorgeous, bright, and bold, these poems speak from the edges—between mother and child, body and earth, self and country. They hold tension and tenderness in equal measure, creating a space for love amidst uncertainty.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM EST	Peter Gizzi - Fierce Elegy Join us for a signing with Peter Gizzi! About Fierce Elegy: Peter Gizzi has said that "the elegy is a mode that can transform a broken heart in a fierce world into a fierce heart in a broken world." For Gizzi, ferocity can be reimagined as vulnerability, bravery and discovery, a braiding of emotional and otherworldly depth, "a holding open." In Gizzi's voice joy and sorrow make a complex ecosystem. In their quest for a lyric reality, these poems remind us that elegy is lament but also—as it has been for centuries—a work of love. "This new poetry," Kamau Brathwaite has written about Gizzi, "taking such care of temperature—the time & details of the world—meaning the space(s) in which we live—defining love in this way. Writing along the edge. A way of writing about hope."

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM EST	Sandra Simonds - Burning Oracle Join us for a signing with Sandra Simonds! About Burning Oracle: Burning Oracle is a visionary, book-length poem told from the fractures of a world on fire where myth, memory, and contemporary life collide. Cassandra—seer, mother, survivor—wanders through forests of digital noise and historical trauma, her voice both ancient and urgently new. At the heart of the poem is a pilgrimage to the grave of poet Paul Celan where she traces personal loss within the wider context of inherited trauma—particularly the Holocaust—and seeks meaning in the act of remembering. As floods rise and fires rage, the personal and historical ignite a mythic voice. Through the commonplace of stained dresses, shattered screens, and supermarket aisles, Cassandra encounters figures like Goya, Reynard the fox, and Celan himself, weaving their stories into an intertextual, image-rich landscape. Burning Oracle is a feminist reckoning, a personal mythography, and a testament to the power of poetry to animate the archive of history, memory, and everyday life.

Marking Aiden Heung’s debut collection, All There Is to Lose is the 2024 winner of the Four Way Books Levis Prize in Poetry. The selecting judge, National Book Award Finalist Ilya Kaminsky, praises the resonant particularities and depth of feeling found in these poems, which convert “elegy [into] its driving force.” Poet and Critic Felicity Plunkett observes, “Dreams and memory move through these porous, venturesome poems. The spectral jostles with the sensual to tell ‘a story in which I could be found.’ Achily tender, they open to light, love and the jab of a joke.” Poet David Tait notes, “Unsettling and luminous, the poems preserve the memory of Village 915: its volatile seasons and hard-worn inhabitants, its headstones, spirits, and myriad forms of water. Here you’ll find not only poems of lyrical beauty, but of grim exactness.” The result is a stunning achievement of a first book, what Kaminsky identifies as an exemplar of “that ages-old mode of poetry wherein the poet uses language to break bread with the dead, to bring them back to life, if only for the moment, for a portion of the moment, an instant, before the line breaks.” Channeling the poet as medium, “I am the tension on the bow that draws the arrow,” Heung writes in “Epilogue.” “To lose myself — that is my destiny.” Exhibitor Name : Four Way Books Booth Number: 1175	Exhibitor Name : Four Way Books Booth Number: 1175	2026030711:0012:00 000	SAT, MAR 7
Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Joel Brouwer Book Signing: As Long as We're Here Join Joel Brouwer to grab a pre-release copy of As Long as We're Here, his new book forthcoming March 15th! As Long as We’re Here is an off-key anthem, a funhouse mirror held up to our dumpster-fire era. Chronically online, distracted and distracting, with too many browser tabs open at once, attentive to everything and focused on nothing, Brouwer delights in the late capitalist absurdities of sleeping apps and internet dance crazes, and riffs on the argot of the group chat and the team meeting. These slippery poems both suffer from and revel in their ADD. Their shifts are as fleet as our news feeds, and their serpentine sentences leap from barroom jests to high modernist splendor and back. But the book is not all fun and games. Dreamy tales of edgelords and loyalty oaths often arrive at places of surprising pathos and beauty. Mortality gnaws at the speakers of these poems, and political unrest lurks in the background. Still, a sense of solidarity—that we of the title, a recurring pronoun throughout—keeps despair at bay. Indeed, As Long as We’re Here is a book of intimacy, of the coterie. Friends and lovers people its lyrics, which often feel like late-night hang sessions with eccentric, wise-cracking pals. Full of wry wisdom and lush music, As Long as We’re Here knows what to do with a diminished thing: make it sing.

About Glitchwork: Glitchwork tracks the uneven lineages of Central India, building on modernist legacies and reckoning with the spectres of the 1984 Bhopal disaster. Mantra Mukim’s debut poetry collection is situated in a timeless, forested grid, poised on the verge of industrial erasure. This grid, a restless site of extraction and production, also brims with potential for lushness, fey ambience, and petite clearings. Its three long poems consist of fragments on a mysterious Cold War ‘plant’, remixes of Surdas (the medieval-Braj poet), notes on palaeolithic hands, philology of the line, anomalies in a lunar-roving vehicle, and the origin myths of Raipur.

Across these interrogative poems, the routines of marriage, parenthood, and faith reside in a place where “every garden is erased / by the thrum of impermanence.” If “silence is the earth’s way of embracing us / in whatever loneliness we think we deserve,” Piccone seeks whatever answers are held in the deepest recesses of that silence. At once aphoristic and vulnerable, these poems insist that “the stars are there to ache us into asking whatever we haven’t / brought ourselves to ask.” To startle us into paying attention to the world.

The lives of the characters in the linked stories in Patricia Henley’s Apple & Palm contrast with that predictability. After vowing he’d never go home to Appalachia, DJ Diggs returns from Chicago to his family of origin after a Pride Prom fire that leaves his niece disfigured; Roxy, a centenarian, convinces her grandson’s pregnant wife to move into the artist’s co-op; Ham Zebrak and Adele Pratt, an elderly pair, spend the night together trying to stir up the ghost of sexual chemistry. Apple & Palm is a provocative close-up examination of aging, memory, and desire.

Energized and original, With No Hat also offers a retrospective of Seibles’ life and career—including his signature sassy villanelles; pop up cameos of cartoon characters; meditations on aging, death, identity, and at-one-ment with all beings; and leading the parade—the main character: the poem itself—lithe and mischievous—not only bareheaded, but in the full glory of his birthday suit. Yeats says, “I made my song a coat…but there’s more enterprise in walking naked.” With No Hat enterprises—strides, sprints, gavottes, and tiptoes through a life work of forging imagination into unforgettable tableaus, spanning self and other, and embracing and assessing, with Seibles’ empathic but cold eye, our culture and our lives in mortal crisis.

Surrounded by farm hands and wild, lush isolation, due to constant eye surgeries, the youngest of six children, Nin Andrews observes the world at a tilt. In this collection of prose poems, hunted by death and the brutalities of farm life, Andrews begins to connect the small black dots of her upbringing—her father’s relationships with men, her mother’s autism, and the burdens of childhood awakenings—ultimately cracking through the shadows that haunt her.

But Cotella Barlow, living in an isolated county in Appalachian Virginia, has only heard rumors about it. Cotella, known as "Telly," makes her way in the world taking care of the families of new mothers who are "lying in" after their labors and deliveries. She travels home to home, eeking out a living, loved by many but always conscious of the stares and winces caused by her disfiguring condition. Until she enters the home of her next "momma," who, days before delivery, is dying in a strange new way, her husband missing, and her four other children frightened, uncared for, and hungry. Telly must meet the challenge with no knowledge of the outside world that is shutting down while people suffer, die, and quarantine. Winter is coming, and there is no one to help, or so it seems. This is a story of devotion, courage, strength, and love with iconic characters readers will come to cherish.

Brown writes with uncommon grace, weaving a tapestry of memory and regret so real you can feel it in your bones.

About The Museum of Unnatural Histories: This extraordinary debut poetry collection by Dena'ina poet Annie Wenstrup delicately parses personal history in the space of an imagined museum. Outside the museum, Ggugguyni (the Dena'ina Raven) and The Museum Curator collect discarded French fries, earrings, and secrets—or as the curator explains, together they curate moments of cataclysm. Inside the museum, their collection is displayed in installations that depict the imagined Indigenous body. Into this "distance between the learning and the telling," Wenstrup inserts The Curator and her sukdu'a, her own interpretive text. At the heart of the sukdu'a is the desire to find a form that allows the speaker's story to be heard. Through love letters, received forms, and found text, the poems reclaim their right to interpret, reinvent, and even disregard artifacts of their own mythos. Meticulously refined and delicately crafted, they encourage the reader to "decide/who you must become."

In a lyrical voice at once new and surprisingly ancient, Adesina’s Death Does Not End at the Sea explores the complexity of elusive citizenship, an immigrant’s brokenhearted prayer for a new beginning, a chorus of elegies, and a cosmic love song between the living and the dead.

These are poems of queer ecology—poetry that “exults in the grit and texture of the natural world, in the unassuming and overlooked wonders beneath our feet and beyond our doors—in lichen and snow, in martens and mushrooms.” In reckoning with a mother’s aging, a breakup, or grief and disorientation in the face of the climate crisis, these poems seek a spiritual meaning in ecological belonging. Central to the collection is a series of poems exploring science, ceremony, and personal encounters with fungi. Fungi and lichen blur what we consider biological, what we think of as an individual, and how we understand death, and these poems reflect this complexity through imagery, juxtaposition, leaps of imagination, and sonic spells.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM EST	Daniel Lassell Book Signing: Spit (MSU Press/Wheelbarrow Books, 2021) Meet/greet and signing with Daniel Lassell, author of Spit, winner of the 2020 Wheelbarrow Books Poetry Prize (selected by Gabrielle Calvocoressi). The first-ever poetry book set on a llama farm, Daniel Lassell’s debut collection, Spit, examines the roles we play in the act of belonging. It is a portrait of a boy living on a farm populated with chickens sung to sleep by lullaby, captive wolves next door that attack a child, and a herd of llamas learning to survive despite coyotes and a chaotic family. The collection in part explores the role of the body in health and illness and one’s treatment of the earth and others. A theme of spirituality also weaves throughout the collection as the speaker treks into adulthood, yearning for peace amid the decline of his parents’ marriage. Driven by a “wish to visit / some landless landscape,” the speaker eventually leaves his family’s farm, only to find that return is impossible. After losing the farm and the llama herd to his parents’ divorce, the speaker wrestles with the role of presence as it relates to healing, remarking, “I wish enough, / to have only // these memories I have.” Unflinching at every turn, the collection pushes the boundaries of “home” to arrive upon new meaning, definition, and purpose.

Predominantly set in the high desert, these poems explore the micro-losses of a father and brother (to downwinder-related cancer and substance abuse) against the macro-losses of a geography to nuclear testing and a tradition of faith to the ravages of grief. Liberally appropriating Judaic symbolism and wedding it to an inherited Mormon vocabulary and iconography, the poet/speaker wrests her power from her culture’s sacred texts to revise her position in sight of patriarchal systems. This collection is for anyone exploring how loss reshapes identity. The book is structured around a crown of sonnets in which the speaker assumes the story of Moses and resituates it in the American Southwest. The book itself is an elegy composed of several smaller elegies; a fallible history; and most of all, a love letter to the family, culture, and geography that shaped the poet and her work.

The poem moves from passages of mythic power to elegant lyricism with remarkable skill, subverting the legend of Bayajidda, a prince from Baghdad whose arrival reshaped the outlook of the Hausas, a Native ethnic group in West Africa. Told in part from a Bori spirit’s point of view and in part through personal lyrics, part prayer and part praise song, Bakandamiya decries the loss of culture and spirituality due to colonization from both the West and the East. Even as it subverts myths and popular beliefs and addresses some of the events that led to the Nigerian civil war, it tackles the lingering question of nationhood. In this work of lyric and poetic ambition, Saddiq Dzukogi blends the personal with the mythical, expanding the griot tradition of Bakandamiya, a poetic form from northern Nigeria popularized by Mamman Shata. Here the form travels from orature to contemporary poetics for the first time, taking its place at the vanguard of contemporary poetry.

About Vulnerability Index: During Elizabeth Robinson’s six years working with chronically unhoused people in Boulder, Colorado, her relationships with the community’s most vulnerable deepened—even as they were filtered through a web of paperwork, systems, and strictures. The Vulnerability Index questionnaire is just one such system. Ubiquitous in shelters across America, it is representative of the endless tasks that people living on the street must complete to receive even minor assistance. Moving between the local court, jail, shelter, and soup kitchen, Robinson’s poems capture the strange juxtapositions of the intimate, bureaucratic, and absurd that such spaces demand: a frostbite victim wants to share his state-sponsored recovery room with a friend from the street, a domestic violence survivor must change her name and even her social security number, an unhoused activist joins a vigil for another woman only to discover that she is, mistakenly, the person being mourned. Spare yet richly empathetic, Robinson’s verse works to implicate the reader’s own vulnerability on every page.

It moves through seasons and generations, through cityscapes, seashore, barrier islands, and backyards. The poems reflect on loss and how it reverberates throughout a lifetime including the tiny but continual losses of aging. They also celebrate moments of joy and awe inspired by breeze, light and love. Many of the poems use a framework of visual art and imagery—including a mother’s love of Turner’s Paintings of the Sea at Margate, a crime scene photo in which the facts fail to tell the story, and a portrait of a family leaving Rockaway beach in late afternoon. The moon slips in and out these poems but takes center stage in one as the author recalls watching the 1969 moon landing and imagines her very own walk on the “moon’s luminescent dustscape.” Exhibitor Name : Bracken Magazine Booth Number: T526	Exhibitor Name : Bracken Magazine Booth Number: T526	2026030612:0013:00 000	FRI, MAR 6

Donna Spruijt-Metz invites the reader to wish for peace with her and explore all the complexities that peace entails—between nations, between religions, in families, between friends.

Michael Imossan moves into historical spaces such as museums and sites of enslavement, touching artifacts that hold meaning, and asking, Where was Africa? Where is Africa now? And what has changed? The Biafran War that claimed three million lives, though declared over, still has its lingering effect on Nigeria and Nigerians. Congo, though free of King Leopold and the exploitation of cotton, is still not free of other kinds of exploitation, nor is Uganda. Though the slave trade has ended, African bodies are still found in the Sahara Desert and in the Atlantic Ocean. All that Refuses to Die is a collection that brims with stories and memories that evoke as well as provoke. As he moves through historical places, the poet compares the past with the present and finds that nothing has really changed.

The book is in five sections that roughly center around 1) nature, 2) art and desire, 3) work/autobiography, 4) secular "holiness," and 5) love/home/family. Though the poems in the collection reach toward joy - the shadows of dread that haunt the world are often in the background of the work.

In One Thing Follows Another, a collection of ten experimental-poetic essays, we explore the work of these two seminal dancer-choreographers, both at various inflection points throughout their careers and in this particular moment. Through a combination of chance operations and intentional artistic choices that push us to unexpected places — including the zoo, the dance studio, the street corner — and via innovative forms and techniques, such as collage, erasure, and our own artistic inventions, we deconstruct the essay form to examine what we as poets, each with our own highly charged relationships to dance, can contribute to the conversation about these pivotal figures in postmodern performance art.

Word by word, syntax by syntax, Chen projects the essential and unrecorded voices of the Chinese immigrants who picked and packed fruit in Riverside's citrus groves and worked as house servants in the late 1800's through the 1930's, as well as the travelers and inhabitants of "shiny city" as they navigate its accelerated process of growth and decay. Both experimental and narrative, these poems juxtapose found texts with a singular kind of imagining: through a wild love, and despite an incomplete and fragmented archive, Shiny City reconstructs its own kind of history with beauty that emerges from between the cracks.

Told in three parts, this book unveils as it journeys, slowly rendering into landscapes of childhood warped by memory. These poems wrestle with images of spatial order and disorder within the city, the planet, the home, and the body. From expansive world building sequences to the tight interiority of room sized sonnets, Yuan’s poems interrogate how our environments are imagined, constructed, represented, and lived in. With piercing and visceral language, Slow Render sings of longing and belonging in this stunning, unique collection.

Whether taking time for rest after a visit from houseguests, deciphering the peculiar rituals of church, or recalling a string of old loves come and gone, each speaker occupies a space between quiet and clamor. Her domain is the bedrock beneath love, friendship, work, and family. She may break it apart and stitch it back together, but the seams are always visible. These poems aim to complicate how we situate ourselves in a wounded world, obsessively pulling up the bandage.

Anchored by a vivid and resounding sequence, Seacliff enacts the relentless crash and dissolution of our bodies, landscapes, and spirits, even as they are recombined to return. And so this book serves as a reminder of the primeval rhythm that sustains us. Unlike other works, this seascape impels a meditation that is not merely metaphorical. In the face of very real forces, the uncertainty is not whether one must surrender, but when and how.

In four poignant, lyrically adventurous essays, Pittinos reflects on endearment, irony, volunteering in a bird sanctuary, and the natural beauty of the in-between with humility and quiet levity. Animal, Roadkill, Ashes, Gone explores questions that have no answers, finds comfort in the most unexpected places, and captures grief with an elegant candor that tugs at the most intimate strings of loss.

The walls of a cold mobile home. A cut straw, stained ballcap, dirty carpets. These are the images that haunt Sapello Son, Alejandro Lucero’s lyric rekindling of a childhood in New Mexico and the landscape that consumed his parents. Lucero’s familiarity with the razor’s edge of choices foisted on those at the fringes keeps us teetering between profound devotion to family and sober recognition of the ways some families fail. Like its namesake, Sapello Son avoids sentimentality and refuses sympathy, asking us to reckon with the only things we’re born with: a place, a family, and a name.

Swing by and grab a signed copy. Both hymn and howl, Animal Logic speaks in the language of survival. Arah Ko concerns herself with how our world’s glorious flora and fauna are watched, hunted, cared for, named, ready “to add them to the past and future bestiary, that record we living keep for the dead.” These poems—which consider the drift of jellyfish and the soar of blackbirds—are “built for threat, recoiling from bear caves, cleaned bones, venomous tongues.” In equal measures a work of eco-criticism and a study of human behavior, Animal Logic witnesses. It remembers. It resists. Exhibitor Name : Bull City Press Booth Number: T938	Exhibitor Name : Bull City Press Booth Number: T938	2026030514:0015:00 000	THU, MAR 5

The question is how do I save him? Exploring the AIDS crisis, space colonization, and earth-bound lesbianism, DEAD BOYS IN SPACE uses poetry, speculative fiction, sci-fi, and crip queer politics to ask: what if a generation of gay men didn’t die of AIDS? What if their exile was actually escape? And what happened to the family they left behind? Told from the perspective of a sister mourning her brother—one she never knew—Sara Youngblood Gregory’s startling debut, DEAD BOYS IN SPACE, is a testament to anger and love, sex and sickness, grief and family.

Having never been told explicitly by their parents about their grandmother’s murder, gilbert pieces their grandmother's story together through fragment, ephemera, history, and the imaginary, looking past the spectacle of the murdered woman and into the things that come, like ripples, after.

With sharp wit and surprising tenderness, Heidi Kasa explores what it means to be human when the lines blur-between self and machine, love and dependence, memory and ghost. Each story is a portal, sometimes surreal and startling, transporting readers to places where the uncanny becomes beautiful and the impossible feels inevitable.

Here's what people are saying about it: "A thoughtful, complex exploration of art and womanhood." - Kirkus starred review "Backstitch is a splendid, irreducible work of art - about making art, about time, about memory, about the stars in the heavens, and maybe most of all about family." - Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Harding "Grounded in the slippery pursuit of truth, Marian Mitchell Donahue’s Backstitch wrestles with the very idea of making and memory, examining both the price of art and all its riches.” - Christine Coulson, bestselling author of ONE WOMAN SHOW "A gripping, compulsive read." - B.A. Shapiro, NYT best selling author of The Lost Masterpiece and The Art Forger.

The poems sizzle with garlic and fish sauce as the speaker tries (and fails) to recreate one of his mother’s recipes—but beneath these tender love letters from a son to his mother simmers a crackly interrogation of American imperialism, whiteness, assimilation, and survival. How can we honor and preserve the histories, languages, songs, and recipes that are carried across borders and filtered through generations, while still holding space for expansion and connection, gratitude and honesty, salt and sugar?

As one body moves toward unfamiliarity, a state of chronic pain, a sense of being caged, the other is escaping pain, emerging into its true self, becoming free. Cataloguing Pain chronicles both trauma and hope through marriage, illness, and motherhood as the author learns how to live in a disabled body.

The poems are populated with sentient tornados, fetal mice floating in a snow globe, soldiers marching past a disembodied heart, and birds that have learned to imitate the sound of an AK47. In her spectacular debut, Gomez offers a call and response to all of us stumbling towards connection. These poems witness, interrogate, mourn, praise, and provide a hopeful glimpse into the mysteries of our shared experience.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST	Book Signing with Henk Rossouw: "Xamissa" "Xamissa" is a book-length poem that sounds out the city of Cape Town in a joyful elegy for the city of alternate takes. "Xamissa" adapts the mythical name for the springs and streams running from Table Mountain to the sea, under the city itself, since before the colonial Dutch ships came—the X of the title standing in for the multiple ways in the languages of the Cape, past and present, the reader may pronounce the first consonant. A work of documentary poetics that investigates the cost of whiteness in South Africa, "Xamissa" code-switches at times into Lontara, the subversive Indonesian script that undercuts the prevalence of Dutch in the colonial archive. Through serial questions around the ethics of its address, "Xamissa" probes the interrelation of language, sociality, and resistance, in its bid to interrogate the archive as a draft of the city’s future.

The collection argues for recording these moments before they disappear, not for the purposes of nostalgia but because of their importance to building a future. Like much of Olson’s other work, these poems locate the extraordinary within the commonplace— hearing the songs of the Carter Family, reading a child’s version of Frankenstein, discovering k.d. lang, and watching soap operas with a grandmother become the building blocks of becoming an individual.

The poems stage scenes adjacent to the U.S.-Mexico border and to the realities of migration warped by jarring political vitriol, bearing witness to past and present-day hazards and sorrows wagered by those in search of asylum. So enabled, these poems make visible not only the infrastructure of militarized surveillance and its detention complex but also the aspiration to justice and mercy and the resilient self-organized order of time for migrants seeking human dignity while awaiting passage to the other side of the dividing line.

In this powerful debut, Haitian-American poet Mckendy Fils-Aimé examines wounds left by abuse, familial estrangement, and racial violence. Through the lens of Haitian superstitions, sipèstisyon explores the imperfect and non-linear nature of healing. These poems don’t pretend that moving on is as simple as moving on. They know that mending a wound requires understanding its shape and origin and that confrontation is sometimes necessary. In each poem, sipèstisyon asks which is louder: the sound of our ache or the call to forgive?

Weaving in and out of myth, scripture, and immigrant family lore, the poems in Arah Ko’s spectacular debut create a tribute to Korean diaspora, the inheritance of storytelling, and the enduring survival of lineage that is both searing and tender. The collection traces the contours of Korean American heritage and its intersections with trauma, spirituality, colonialism, food, gender, and the natural world. By calling on figures of the past, these poems are permeated with a sense of absence and questioning both in form and content. While the writer’s immigrant family tends to live in the present as a method of survival, this poetry turns to history in order to mourn loss and wounds, acknowledge change, and celebrate the endurance of familial love and culture.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Art Young / Downeyoshun Join author Art Young for a signing of his debut novel, Downeyoshun. Sally Osterhoff is a genius. When she grows up, she wants to be a mathematician, a teacher, and a carpenter; and she plans to swim in the 1968 and 1972 Olympics. Her mother has other ideas, and will emotionally and physically abuse Sally to fit them. After all, she only wants what is best for her child. But between her father trying his best, the family next door who practically adopts her, and her Aunt & Uncle down in Ocean City where she spends her summers, Sally just might have the support and love she needs to make all of her dreams come true. Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights struggles, the Vietnam War, and the early Feminist movement, the story explores the power of found family, and how unconditional love can come from the least expected places. Downeyoshun is a not-always-sentimental vacation to the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Bring your swimsuit.

Join us for a book signing with Lauren Camp, celebrating the launch of IS IS ENOUGH. Stop by to meet the author, have your copy signed, and learn more about this compelling new work. ----- Is Is Enough begins in heritage and harmony then breaks apart into the strange world and tautly stretched emotions that accompany dementia. The collection flickers through and locates in distorted realities, loss, and gentling. By haunting the past, the author reweaves and reorients against a continual vanishing. Ordinary situations begin to seem like joy in reverse, a treatise on the honesty of the present. ----- LAUREN CAMP is the author of eight previous collections, including In Old Sky (Grand Canyon Conservancy, 2024), which grew out of her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park. She served as New Mexico Poet Laureate from 2022-25 and founded the New Mexico Epic Poem Project. Honors include fellowships from the Academy of American Poets and Black Earth Institute, a Dorset Prize, a Glenna Luschei Award from Prairie Schooner, and finalist citations for the Arab American Book Award and Adrienne Rich Award.

Meditating on illness, health care, social media, storytelling, clothing, various forms of violence, and popular culture, Sifting the Feminine seeks to understand why women’s bodies that challenge societal and cultural expectations of femininity are routinely disregarded in a world where no two bodies, regardless of gender, exist in the same way.

Join us for a book signing with Caridad Moro-Gronlier, celebrating the launch of THROUGH THE LENS. Stop by to meet the author, have your copy signed, and learn more about this compelling new ekphrastic work. ----- In Through the Lens, Caridad Moro-Gronlier redefines ekphrasis for a visually saturated world, expanding her poetic gaze beyond the image to include the objects, spaces, texts, and moments that shape our cultural and personal landscapes. These poems do more than describe—they interrogate, interpret, and reflect, treating each subject as a living, dynamic presence. Moro-Gronlier invites the reader to slow down, look again, and reconsider how meaning is made. This genre-defying collection dismantles the frame and reframes the familiar, challenging not only what we perceive, but the very structures that teach us how—and what—it means to see. ----- Caridad Moro-Gronlier is the Poet Laureate of Miami-Dade County and the author of Tortillera (TRP, 2021), winner of the TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Prize; and Visionware (Finishing Line Press, 2009). She is the editor of Grabbed: Poets and Writers Respond to Sexual Assault, Empowerment and Healing (Beacon Press, 2020). Her work explores identity, queerness, family, and cultural heritage. She serves as Associate Editor of SWWIM Every Day, a daily poetry journal for women-identifying poets, and Poetry Curator-at-Large for The Betsy Writer’s Room. She lives in Miami with her wife and son.

Join us for a book signing with Donovan McAbee, celebrating the launch of HOLY THE BODY. Stop by to meet the author, have your copy signed, and learn more about this compelling new work. ----- Holy the Body wrestles with ghosts and shadows, discovers Mother Teresa in a cinnamon bun in Nashville, Tennessee and Jesus’s tears in a trick of light. At once dark and humorous, these poems confront the religiosity of the US and explore the experience of faithful doubt, as God himself “goes under the knife.” The poems in this manuscript take the reader through the brutalities of the author losing his mother to melanoma and of resuscitating his own father, with “the cracking of sternum beneath my hands.” The collection chisels out a hard-earned language for the sacred, one which proclaims that the beauty we find in the midst of uncertainties is itself a solace that, as one of the final poems in the manuscript affirms, “is more than enough.” ----- Donovan McAbee is a poet, songwriter, and essayist. His work has appeared in The New York Times, TIME, The Sun, The Poetry Review, Poetry London, and a variety of other places. He grew up in Inman, South Carolina, a small town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. in Contemporary Poetry from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Donovan lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and their two children.

Set in some of our most stunning public lands, including Denali National Park and Preserve, Great Basin National Park, Isle Royale National Park, and Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Renfro’s essays examine her encounters with bears, arctic ground squirrels, loons, red-winged blackbirds, moose, and wolves, as she wrestles with a range of subjects including motherhood, mental illness, grief, and darkness. Both deeply personal and meticulously researched, Renfro’s essays seek to illuminate the natural world and show its deep relevance and resonance in all of our lives.

Wes Jamison contends with the complex and disturbing relationship of sexuality and violence through a torrent of virtual horrors—shock sites, hookup apps, beheading videos, and creepshots—as well as through Jamison’s own experiences of being surveilled and exploited online. Inspired by Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s master horror film Kairo, which portrays ghosts overflowing into our reality through the internet, this fragmented book-length essay clarifies Julia Kristeva’s infamously esoteric theory of abjection and subjectivity and updates it for today’s constant virtuality. My Corpse Inside is a disquieting work that asks readers to confront the violence, fetish, horror, and loneliness inherent in our eternal connectivity.

Stop by to meet the author, have your copy signed, and learn more about this compelling new work. ----- Lambda Award-winning poet Remi Recchia’s second full-length poetry collection chronicles the speaker’s journey with alcoholism, gender identity, and faith. Weaving between drunkenness and grace, loss and desire, the book asks us what a man looks like and what he’ll do when the lights go down. While Addiction Apocalypse is located in many places—including sports stadiums, bars, beaches, IHOP, France, and the Mid- and Southwest regions at large—at its basic, like all good poetry, it is located in the trembling, beating human heart. ----- Remi Recchia is a Lambda Special Prize-winning poet, essayist, and editor from Kalamazoo, Michigan. An eight-time Pushcart Prize nominee, his work has appeared in World Literature Today, Best New Poets 2021, and Best of the Net 2025, among others.

Midsummer Count collects the best work of Robin Becker, considered by many to be the foremost feminist poet of her generation. With selections from each of her previously published books and nearly thirty new poems, readers enter Becker’s lifelong exploration of childhood, animals, cherished places, complex friendships, and romantic intimacy. A life-affirming current yokes these narratives across time, even as a sister’s early suicide haunts the decades. In blank and free verse, in couplets, quatrains, and sonnets, the poet wrestles with formal tensions, creating a present-day idiom for beauty, grief, and compassion. Lovers of Becker’s work and those new to it will find in Midsummer Count a master class by one of today’s most dynamic poets.

Ty Bannerman’s family came to Los Alamos in 1952 to build nuclear bombs. This fact has become their origin myth, threaded into the very DNA of Bannerman himself, his relatives, and his children. No one on this planet has been untouched by the nuclear industry, but the Bannermans—working-class contributors to the atomic industrial complex—are a unique embodiment of this reality. Nuclear Family is a lyrical memoir, a series of connected essays that use hard science, popular culture, and personal meditation to explore the role of nuclear weapons and the legacy of Los Alamos in the lives of one American family. Unsung heroes and victims, McCarthy-era interrogations, the Incredible Hulk, and corpses preserved for display are all linked, ultimately, to the bomb and the people who created it.

"This book is about my heart. What beats it, what worries it, what and who it loves," says the poet. The back cover's poem, "How Dare I", starts the journey of what nurtures the soul. "Even the Maroon Moons are about society's denials. The Light is always there," she states. "With my first book, I had to unpack surface feelings. The irony is that I released my first book when #45 was president and now I am releasing this second book right when he returns as #47. Clearly my poems are inspired by the light and the dark." As a practitioner of the healing arts, Stella the Poet lives by the title of her books. Love, she holds to be the foundation of all life, with its magical components overriding appearances of darkness. In Love, Magic & Maroon Moons, poems about kindness, gratitude and recognition of what is sacred carry us through all seeming obstacles and chaos. "I love being human. It's mystical and magical like maroon moons," she says, reflecting on how creativity, emotion, memory, and imagination intertwine to shape her poetic vision and deepen her evolving journey.

She offers a voice to those forced into the "Suicide Club," a group no one wishes to join, highlighting the spectrum of grief and loss that forever alters relationships and immerses survivors with guilt. Through her work, and the complicated nature of grief, Erica's poetry is a profound exploration of the continuous cycle of guilt and the relentless quest for healing in the aftermath of suicide. Creating Peace through the grieving process is a book that takes readers on a journey towards finding peace after a loved one has passed away. It gives the reader tools and what signs to look for when our loved ones are trying to connect with us. She uses her own stories of loss, and discovers peace by learning how to connect with the spirit world and how to incorporate our loved ones who have passed into our daily life.

In Marfa's River, a Ukrainian woman living in Brussels in the 1950s is haunted by the catastrophic death of her child ten years before, at the end of World War II. Torn from her home in her teens, she struggles with dark memories and profound loneliness, exacerbated by her introspective nature. Her story unfolds in alternating narrative and reflective chapters. Steeped in guilt, sadness, and grief, she begins to open, through the fulfilling qualities of work and the ordinary kindness of others, to friendship, hope of redemption, and the possibility of love. Marina Antropow Cramer was born in Germany, the child of Russian refugees from the Soviet Union, and emigrated with her family to the United States in 1956. She holds a BA in English from Upsala College, which no longer exists. She has been a waitress, fabric store manager, traveling saleswoman, telephone fundraiser, used book dealer, business owner, and bookseller. Her work has appeared in Blackbird, Istanbul Literary Review, and Wilderness House Literary Review.

In 1782, a renegade Pennsylvania militia killed ninety-six pacificist Christian Delawares (Lenapes) in Ohio. Those who escaped, including Indigenous eyewitnesses, relayed their accounts of the atrocity. Like Layli Longsoldier’s Whereas and Simon Ortiz’s from Sand Creek, Low delves into a critical incident of Indigenous peoples’ experiences. Readers will explore with the poet how trauma persists through hundreds of years, and how these peoples have survived and flourished in the subsequent generations.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Brian Gresko signs "You Must Go On" Not a book about how to write, a book about why to write and how to keep at it in a world that wants you to shut the hell up. You want to get your butt in that chair and write like a motherfucker, but it’s hard. Writing is solitary, and it can be all too easy to feel dismayed or even despondent about giving yourself time and permission to let what is inside of you come out on the page. Hold my beer – I’m here to help. I’ve been at it for almost twenty years now! Yes, it is a tough road, believe me. By many American metrics, I don't amount to much. Even within the world of writers, despite my many, varied publications, I don't even have an agent, let alone a book deal, prestigious award, or influencer-level Instagram following. And yet, I'm still here, and still find this art – and the life I lead which makes space for it – rewarding. Partly inspired by my work with students, and partly the book I needed to write to convince myself to keep at it, You Must Go On’s provides thirty short epistles on living and maintaining life as a creative person. You can read one a day for a month, or just dip in and out as need be. Divided into four sections–Intention, Motivation, Vision, and Actualization–rich with wisdom gleaned from my years as a reading series host and literary journalist, and grounded in personal stories of triumphs (there've been a few) as well as set-backs (there've been a lot more), with just a touch of theory to get you nerds excited, these letters will help you to focus on the things you're able to control about this creative work we do, and make some kind of peace with what you cannot. Feel like you just can't go on any longer? My friend, you must. Exhibitor Name : Quilted Press Booth Number: 781	Exhibitor Name : Quilted Press Booth Number: 781	2026030611:0012:00 000	FRI, MAR 6

Flash nonfiction, fragmented vignettes and personal narrative combine to tell the almost-love stories of her life (thus far). From dusty university libraries to Boston-bound BoltBuses, and the icy grief of Somerville to the smoggy shores of Venice Beach, FRAGMENTS OF WASTED DEVOTION spans a country of desire, a galaxy of yearning, and seven years of failing, losing, and finding oneself in love.

Scrawny, cerebral amateur tinkerer Hermium Goodspeed isn’t cut out to be a soldier—so he’s stunned when he receives a second letter to a Thunder – a red letter – to attend the most elite magic-military academy in the Thunderlands. At the grand fortress of Glimmeroc, Hermium is faced with the grueling training to join the ranks of the airjocks, who defend the skies with the help of their magical flying suits. Monstrous things stalk him inside the keep, that threaten not only Hermium, but the realm. In this place where he felt he’d never belong, Hermium discovers that he is heir to a secret destiny. With the help of his friends and legendary emissaries of the Gods, Hermium must face what hunts him to uncover the truth of his past. When the armies of light and darkness meet on the battlefield, only Hermium can tip the scales.

Inspired by Virgil's Aeneid, the collection turns to face the violence at the heart of domesticity and gender, which is reconfigured by the poetic voice and his mother. Their mutual disillusionment with men frees neither of their responsibilities, as they attempt to flee a home in flames by going on vacation to another Caribbean island. Far from their daily labors, they are forced to turn back and look at the ashes of the home they left in their wake, in order to make sense of the totalizing potential they have nurtured together. Bread, oversignified by literature and history, is a product of both care and gendered labor and, like the violence that forges it, becomes invisible through repetition. Valcárcel breaks down the base materials for its creation, adding his own grief, his mother’s, and the final ingredient: fire. This bilingual edition, translated by Roque Raquel Salas Rivera, breathes new life into a contemporary Puerto Rican classic. Come by the Cardboard House Press booth for a book signing with the author and translator!

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM EST	Natalya Sukhonos Poetry Book Signing ourneying into the speaker’s immigrant past as well as the stories of others, we wander in the fields of war-torn Ukraine, the stones of Guadalajara, and the frigid shores of Halifax during World War II. Roaming through rain-soaked forests, treacherous deserts, and the whimsical architecture of childhood, we hear voices of immigrants, refugees, and lovers, children yet unborn and those sprinting to their next adventures, mothers and fathers, grandparents both wise and defeated, adolescents luminous with wonder and paralyzed by their own bodies. How does poetry cradle a sea of voices? Ensconced in the amber of memory, how do they emerge full-blooded and speak to us with urgency? “Haunting, filled with sweetness, these poems unfold out of the limelight. Dream-like, the collection flickers and glows.” This is how award-winning Ukrainian poet Oksana Maksymchuk describes Natalya Sukhonos’s new collection. And award-winning American poet Sarah Giragosian writes: “Sunlight Trapped in Stone is a book of witness, of grief and healing, of arrivals and departures and tremendous love.” Exhibitor Name : Green Writers Press Booth Number: 755	Exhibitor Name : Green Writers Press Booth Number: 755	2026030611:0012:30 000	FRI, MAR 6

Navigating want through the contemporary maze of capitalism, rape culture, and digital landscapes, in an attempt to configure which desires are born of the self rather than these external forces, the poems of DCYOB enact this maze straining against the line and stability of the lyric subject. Slipping from the baroque to the banal, dark rubies and ghosts suddenly manifest in the neon glow of the dive bar, this is a story of thirst, frustration and transformation.

Weaving Liberation: An Archival Chapbook is a hybrid chapbook that documents one year of refusing genocide against Palestinians. Drawing connections between Palestinian liberation, relationship with land, nursing during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic, transness, diaspora, and fishing, this collection offers an archive and genuflection to the communities that have come together for Palestinian liberation. Situated in the specificity of Dena'ina Land, the chapbook's ephemera includes ceremonial scripts from actions, letters to an assembly member, and essays written in grief, rage, and desperation.

Written for the vast spectrum of bodies, Aerik Francis’s BODYPOLITIC offers poetry as a catalyst: for movement, for empowerment, and for liberation-minded education rooted in global awareness and local action. This collection of poems questions what it means to live fully inside one’s own body in a society that seeks to regulate, define, or erase bodies. These poems ask readers to reexamine their relationship with their bodies as an act of self-knowledge, resistance, and radical permission to express oneself. Beyond the individual self, BODYPOLITIC also explores how bodies exist within larger bodies of power. Embedded in the history of these political processes are people, Francis’s people, the vast history of peoples fighting against oppressive powers and systems. BODYPOLITIC opens space for a candid conversation with ourselves about what we want, who we are becoming, and who we really want to be.

Donato Martinez has concocted an expansive and rich collection."?-Luis J. Rodriguez, author of Always Running: Mi Vida Loca/Gang Days in L.A., Borrowed Bones, and From Our Land to Our Land?"Through his palabras, Donato Martinez presents and pays homage to the many men and women who often are excluded from our history books. He acknowledges their being, their presence, and the many contributions they make to our everyday life. Donato's poems make sure that we recognize their sudor, their hours of excessive work, and understand that they keep our cities in motion."?-Angelina F. Veyna, Emeritus Professor of History, Santa Ana College?"Donato Martinez's poems bring me joy. Like sitting on a porch hearing your elders tell tales, like relaxing with friends shooting the shit, like the best hip hop of the 90s, like family breakfast on Sunday morning. Pull up a chair and treat yourself."?-Tomas Moniz, author of Big Familia?"Donato Martinez successfully gives us back the essence of poetic flow that's been missing from our lives during these uncertain times. His unique style, rhyme and cadence pull me back into the days of giving a damn and living life freely at the same time. Each metaphor serves to bring the reader into Martinez's world of cultura, familia, and comunidad that made him into who he is today. If you've never had days filled with wonderment, fear, laughter, and a sense of urgency all balled into one moment, do yourself a favor and float through his home-grown narration intentionally without pause."?-Dr. Jessica Ayo Alabi, Professor at Orange Coast College, Founder and CEO of Alabi Community Consulting Foreword by Obed Silva (The Death of My Father the Pope) Exhibitor Name : Daxson Publishing Booth Number: 501	Exhibitor Name : Daxson Publishing Booth Number: 501	2026030611:0012:30 000	FRI, MAR 6

The poems traverse ordinary days and periods of loss; they are elegy and wish. They examine motherhood and daughterhood and turn to the living land as source of solace and nurturing.

The collection is haunted by an existential question about Shertok’s oral mother tongue, Tamang: How do you write about a language that has no script? Exploring the erasure, ambiguity, multiplicity, violence, and unknowability signified by “X,” the poems dwell on the lip of a new ghost language, which ultimately fails itself. The polyphonal witnessing of the decade-long Maoist conflict in his native Nepal from schoolchildren’s perspective reveals how a war can fracture the psyche of an entire generation. The final thread of the book, a “reverse-elegy” for his mother, meditates on the impending loss of a loved one as a potential site of mourning, impermanence, gratitude, memory-making, and mythopoeticism.

No more courting the dark. I’ve always worn my own darkness and haven’t tried-I hope I haven’t tried-pretending that it doesn’t exist. It feels odd to identify an experience because of how happy it made me feel. Except, of course, when it comes to love. But even then, even at love, I’m wary when its happiness comes skipping along into the writing. I’ve never understood the impulse to write out of happiness. I’m a happy person and a funny person, but I’m not a happy writer or a funny writer. I don’t believe that a piece of writing has to be sad, but it does-at least for me-have to insist on acknowledging a shadow. It has to face something that a good cop would call evidence.” Exhibitor Name : Free State Review Booth Number: 961	Exhibitor Name : Free State Review Booth Number: 961	2026030511:3012:30 000	THU, MAR 5

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	1666: A Novel A Fictional Recounting of the Survival Story of Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia The story has been remembered within the Patawomeck tribe for generations, but is largely unknown outside of the tribe until now. Author Lora Chilton, a tribal member through the lineage of her father, has created this powerful fictional retelling. The story follows three Indigenous Patawomeck women who lived through the decimation of their tribe by land hungry colonists in the summer of 1666, the massacre of their men, the harrowing march south where they and their children were sold and transported to Barbados via slave ship, and, eventually, their brave escape back to Virginia. It is because of these women that the tribe is in existence to this day. This work of historical fiction is based on oral tradition, interviews with tribal elders, written colonial records and extensive research by the author, including study of the language. The book uses Indigenous names for the characters and some Patawomeck words to honor the culture and heritage that was erased when European colonization of the Americas began in the 16th century. “A disturbing, absorbing, and valuable addition to the literature of cruelty inflicted upon Indigenous peoples.” — Kirkus Reviews Exhibitor Name : Sibylline Press Booth Number: 616	Exhibitor Name : Sibylline Press Booth Number: 616	2026030711:0012:00 000	SAT, MAR 7
Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST	I Never Do This: A Novel “I will tell all in full truth and will hold nothing back to protect myself from the eyes of the law ... l’m the only one who can tell it all.” In country noir style, we hear the unforgettable voice of a young woman, LaDene Faye Howell, who finds herself in police custody recounting her story after her paroled cousin Bobbie Frank appears and engages her in a crime spree. La Dene Faye Howell grew up in the small town of Devola on an oxbow of the Muskingum River in southeast Ohio. Her conservative family is deeply religious, although another branch of the Howell clan are notorious criminals. When one of her outlaw relatives returns from prison, La Dene hopes the two of them may share an evening of fun, or even a spark of romance. Instead, Bobby Frank embroils her in kidnapping their old high school principal. Taken into custody, La Dene recounts her misadventures in the form of a dramatic monologue. Pledging to “tell all in full truth” she hopes to keep herself out of jail and perhaps even soften Bobby’s likely sentence. She aims to capture her listeners’ sympathy by recounting a history she has never shared before: her teenage pregnancy and confinement at an unforgiving evangelical facility for wayward girls. “... Miller has crafted a compelling cast of characters, from La Dene’s churchgoing family to her fellow pregnant classmates at New Dawn Ministry to the overbearing faculty who ruthlessly rule the school. Even the humorous description of the crimes she committed with Bobby is rendered in engaging detail. Everyone from casual readers to the staunchest of mystery fans will find something to enjoy in this quick-and quick-witted-read.” — Kirkus Reviews Exhibitor Name : Sibylline Press Booth Number: 616	Exhibitor Name : Sibylline Press Booth Number: 616	2026030712:0013:00 000	SAT, MAR 7

She already survived so much. In this gripping memoir, Hayes recounts the story of her impoverished Jamaican childhood and eventual immigration to the United States at 14. She weathers hardships, including a strict church upbringing, family abandonment, and marriages fused with domestic violence. Then she breaks free as a single mother. Decades later, Donna is educated and at the top of her game in New York City. Her career is soaring on Wall Street and she is starring in her own one- woman show off Broadway. Yet at the peak of her triumph, she is scammed and robbed of her life’s savings by the “love of her life” who she meets on an online dating site. The mastermind was not the usual faceless online fraudster, hiding behind a computer screen in a faraway land; rather, he slept beside her for a year and a half, pretending to be the love of her life. This is the story of how that woman rose yet again to find her power, making the scam and her choice of such a man the last run along the broken roads of her past.

When their mother is admitted to a tuberculosis sanatorium, Violet and Glory pray that God will heal her, and that once she’s home, their parents’ quarrels will end. Too young to know of the disappearance years before of a neighbor’s daughter—the beautiful, vibrant Ada—the sisters are unaware of how Ada’s fate haunts their lives. Coming of age in a neighborhood scarred by the secret it holds, thoughtful, sensible Violet and gifted but fragile Glory are each other’s refuge. But as they reach adulthood, the fallout from a broken love affair—while unraveling the mystery of Ada—threatens their bond. Narrated in turns by each of the sisters, Our Share of Morning reveals how contagion, misogyny, and a series of betrayals challenge both to face immutable loss and to consecrate what remains. Poignant and poetic, the novel is a meditation on meaning, fate, forgiveness, and the fierce endurance of sisterly love.

Through narrative poems and innovative forms, Orange explores the ripple effects of reconciling a lineage of masculinity and queerness, unearthing truth from within lies, and grappling with the complexity of familial influence. Yet, family expands well beyond the nuclear as poems center relationships between friends, cousins, teachers, and partners. Orange ultimately argues that truth resembles color, something so real, yet elusive and impossible to prove.

I look forward to meeting readers, signing copies, and sharing a bit about the journey behind the books. Or just come say hello. I’d love to see you there. Also, be sure to register to win a free copy of book three in the series. Sheldon Majors and the Chase (Book One): Set in a small, conservative farming town, the first novel introduces Sheldon Majors, a teenager who has always known he was different but struggles to understand and accept his identity. Growing up amid family expectations, school bullies, and social isolation, Sheldon’s world begins to shift when Chase, a confident newcomer from Los Angeles, arrives and becomes the focus of his unspoken feelings. As Sheldon navigates friendships, first love, and the cruelty of intolerance, he slowly learns to stand up for himself and claim his place in a world that often feels hostile. The novel is a tender coming-of-age story centered on self-discovery, resilience, and the courage it takes to live authentically. Sheldon Majors and This Queer Love (Book Two): The second installment follows Sheldon as he nears the end of high school and stands at the threshold of adulthood. Working at a local factory alongside his parents, he faces new responsibilities, evolving friendships, and fresh conflicts while wrestling with questions about his future and whether to pursue a life beyond his hometown. Love, loss, and personal growth take on deeper meaning as Sheldon confronts past wounds and present desires, learning that self acceptance is an ongoing journey rather than a single revelation. Darker and more mature in tone, this book expands Sheldon’s story into a powerful exploration of identity, young adulthood, and the determination to define one’s own path.

The pull of heart is at the center of these stories. A relationship may cave under “inexplicable disenchantment,” but love insists on itself. It will not let go of life. —Jacqueline Berger, author of Left at the Ruin Exhibitor Name : Free State Review Booth Number: 961	Exhibitor Name : Free State Review Booth Number: 961	2026030611:3012:30 000	FRI, MAR 6

Wandering around a hollowed city, looking for a lost feeling like a key that will unlock the secret of self, only to be put on hold while a coup unfolds on television—these poems make the strangeness of life feel valid, in all of its violent contradiction.

Through an adaptation of Napoleon Bonaparte’s real attempt to write fiction, the historical novel Finding Napoleon offers a fresh take on Europe’s most powerful man after he’s lost everything—except his last love. The audacious Countess Albine helps narrate their tale of intrigue, desire, and betrayal. After the defeated Emperor Napoleon goes into exile on tiny St. Helena Island in the remote South Atlantic, he and his lover, Albine de Montholon, plot to escape and rescue his young son. Banding together enslaved Africans, English sympathizers and French followers, they confront British opposition and treachery within their own ranks. Amid his intrigues, Napoleon finishes his real novel Clisson that he started writing as a young man. Now it's a message to his son his enemies have taken from him. To succeed, Napoleon must learn whom to trust. To survive, Albine must decide whom to betray.

Guided by the voice of my inner child, we explore the possibility of childhood memories and reminiscence. Questions are asked even if they're not able to be answered. One question that always remains is, how can we blossom in a world that isn't built for us to do so under capitalism and trauma? Is this the house that I'm supposed to live and love in? Is home found in our bodies, in bowls of fruit, in different corners of the Earth? The Day the Flowers Bloomed searches for these answers and creates a playground to daydream in, to find connection and to find the Self. This book goes back and forth between English and Spanish to capture the totality of my voice and to give space for others to do the same.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EST	Soul Open Soul Open is a book that reflects the poet's struggles in navigating difficult experiences in his life. In this collection of poetry, the poet exposes his soul and paints a picture of the pain and suffering he endures, but at the same time moves forward towards healing. For some reason, the poet couldn't cover up real emotions, and he couldn't smile at the right moment and mask the pain. The journey in this collection is raw and real. The poet spills the words on the page, and this allows him to move forward, cry, and curse. The honesty in this collection is compelling. There is no hiding or painting of soft landscapes. The poet is most vulnerable, and he represents the quote "Tell the truth and shame the devil," as the old folks used to say.

It is a daughter's tribute to an artistic woman who could have been so much more in life, but she chose to be a mother. Maryella Zamudio was a Mexican immigrant who never wanted to leave her home country but made the best of her circumstances and lived life with courage, honor, and kindness. A cashier for twenty years, Maryella Zamdio succumbed to liver cirrhosis in 2021. This collection is a compelling and vulnerable story reflecting the anticipation of grief and the enduring and surviving of it. It examines every facet of the difficulties of being a caretaker in a country that does not care. Of a young daughter needing to become a mother to her own mother, of relentless grief. In this collection, readers are invited to see a daughter discover the limits of her own strength and resilience; in dreamy, ethereal writing, it takes readers to the sick room of the slowly dying, to the moss-lined forests of Sweden where grief was left behind, and back to sun-drenched gardens where healing truly begins. Includes photographs and surviving artwork of Maryella Zamudio.

About "Praisesong for the People" Edited by Amanda Johnston, the 61st Texas Poet Laureate and first Black woman to receive this honor, this vibrant anthology collects the work of 70 emerging and established poets across the state. Commissioned to write original poems celebrating everyday people, the poets in Praisesong for the People: Poems from the Heart and Soul of Texas are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit, and reflect the intersecting identities of Texas’s population across age, gender, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disability, and immigrant communities. In these poems, their voices gather in a heartfelt chorus to praise the people in their communities who offer small kindnesses, asking nothing in return. About Amanda Johnston Amanda Johnston is a writer, visual artist, the 61st Texas Poet Laureate, and founder of Torch Literary Arts. Johnston is the author of two chapbooks, "GUAP" and "Lock & Key," and the full-length collection "Another Way to Say Enter" (Argus House Press, 2017).

Following her ancestors’ enslavement in 1700s Virginia and North Carolina, White weaves together data from Hairston family plantation archives and her Black Hairston mother’s inherited oral slave narrative to create searing poems on a history of Scottish genes and African ancestry. In doing this sacred work, White expands the historical narrative far beyond Hairston plantation grounds to examine the lives of freed people who emigrated back to Africa to reestablish themselves in a Black nation, and to also chronicle her own life in the US. Invoking themes of heritage and the lives of mixed-race Hairstons, this collection outlines the hardships many emancipated people faced in the US as well as the ways Americans continue to encounter vestiges of institutional enslavement. An essential addition to ongoing conversations on race and racial (in)justice, A Black Doe in the Anthropocene lays bare our intertwined inheritances and what we leave in our wake for future generations connected by blood, nationality, or both. “White’s collection trains the ear and eye of a master poet toward some of the most foundational traumas in the modern world.” —Nate Marshall, author of FINNA Exhibitor Name : Women's National Book Association Booth Number: 236	Exhibitor Name : Women's National Book Association Booth Number: 236	2026030713:0014:30 000	SAT, MAR 7

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	"It's Important I Remember," a signing with Cave Canem Fellow Cortney Lamar Charleston Join Cave Canem Fellow Cortney Lamar Charleston (2015) for a signing of "It's Important I Remember." About "It's Important I Remember" “History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes.” In his sweeping third collection, Charleston brings a poet’s ear for echo and rhythm to bear on American history and life after 2016. For Charleston, these rhymes cut two ways: the long tradition of American racism and fascism, and the steady pulse of Black persistence. The collection’s titular invocation frames each poem, at times an oratory to rally a crowd, in other moments a private prayer whispered as the speaker gathers himself to face another day. Charleston insists that should we cede memory of our national biography—whether to repression or indifference—we will witness the country dissolve into something unrecognizable to many, yet all too familiar to its most marginalized people. But with each reiteration and riff, he also invokes a tenuous hope—that if we summon an American history of Black resistance, we might still make a more perfect union. About Cortney Lamar Charleston Cortney Lamar Charleston is originally from the Chicago suburbs and currently resides in New Jersey. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania, where he began writing and performing poetry as a member of "The Excelano Project." Charleston is a Pushcart Prize–winning poet and the author of "Telepathologies" and "Doppelgangbanger." He has been awarded a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation as well as fellowships from Cave Canem and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Of White Ashes Constance Hays Matsumoto, Author. The bombing of Pearl Harbor propels America into WWII and two Japanese Americans into chaos. Separated by the Pacific, each embarks on a tumultuous path to survive childhood and live the American dream. Ruby Ishimaru loses her liberty and uproots from her Hawaii home to incarceration camps on the mainland. Koji Matsuo strains under the menacing clouds of the Japanese war machine and atomic bombing while concealing a dangerous secret—one that threatens his family’s safety. When destiny brings Ruby and Koji together in California, their chemistry is magnetic, but wounds of trauma run deep and threaten their love as another casualty of war. Inspired by the true stories of the authors’ family, OF WHITE ASHES crosses oceans and cultures, illuminating the remarkable lives of ordinary people who endure seemingly unbearable hardship with dignity and patience. Their experiences compel us to reflect on the resilience of humanity and the risk of history repeating.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Natasha Williams / The Parts of Him I Kept One cold night in April, Natasha's father drove his car into the frigid water of New York Bay with her two-year-old half-sister in the backseat. She was the one to walk him past the column of hungry reporters demanding an explanation. The headline in The Daily News read: Back from a Watery Grave. But Natasha's experiences growing up with her schizophrenic father in the gritty New York City of the 1970s are not so easily captured in a single headline. How could she possibly convey the power of her father's love in the face of this tragedy? The Parts of Him I Kept is an intimate account of coming of age in the face of a father's schizophrenic unraveling. In the tradition of Michael Greenberg's Hurry Down Sunshine and Robert Kolker's Hidden Valley Road, Williams explores the limits of our understanding of schizophrenia and chronicles the burden and privilege of caring for a mentally ill family member.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST	Author Signing: Jason G. Waters I’m excited to invite you to a book signing for the Sheldon Major Series. I look forward to meeting readers, signing copies, and sharing a bit about the journey behind the books. Or just come say hello. I’d love to see you there. Also, be sure to register to win a free copy of book three in the series. Sheldon Majors and the Chase (Book One): Set in a small, conservative farming town, the first novel introduces Sheldon Majors, a teenager who has always known he was different but struggles to understand and accept his identity. Growing up amid family expectations, school bullies, and social isolation, Sheldon’s world begins to shift when Chase, a confident newcomer from Los Angeles, arrives and becomes the focus of his unspoken feelings. As Sheldon navigates friendships, first love, and the cruelty of intolerance, he slowly learns to stand up for himself and claim his place in a world that often feels hostile. The novel is a tender coming-of-age story centered on self-discovery, resilience, and the courage it takes to live authentically. Sheldon Majors and This Queer Love (Book Two): The second installment follows Sheldon as he nears the end of high school and stands at the threshold of adulthood. Working at a local factory alongside his parents, he faces new responsibilities, evolving friendships, and fresh conflicts while wrestling with questions about his future and whether to pursue a life beyond his hometown. Love, loss, and personal growth take on deeper meaning as Sheldon confronts past wounds and present desires, learning that self acceptance is an ongoing journey rather than a single revelation. Darker and more mature in tone, this book expands Sheldon’s story into a powerful exploration of identity, young adulthood, and the determination to define one’s own path.

Helen Moran is thirty-two years old, single, childless, college educated, and partially employed as a guardian of troubled young people in New York. She is accepting a furniture delivery in her shared studio apartment when her uncle calls to break the news: Helen’s adoptive brother is dead. According to the Internet, there are six possible reasons why her brother might have killed himself. But Helen knows better: she knows that six reasons is only shorthand for “the abyss.” Helen also knows that she alone is qualified to launch a serious investigation into his death, so she purchases a one-way ticket to Milwaukee. There, as she searches her childhood home and attempts to uncover why someone would choose to die, she will face her estranged family, her brother’s few friends, and the overzealous grief counselor, Chad Lambo; she may also discover what it truly means to be alive. A bleakly comic tour de force that’s by turns poignant, uproariously funny, and viscerally unsettling, this debut novel has shades of Bernhard, Beckett, and Bowles—as it announced the singular voice of Patrick Cottrell.

A wife finds herself literally shrinking in her house, day by day; a mother recalls the surreal day when her infant daughter survives a close encounter with a bear; and, inside her lover’s heart, a woman discovers a secret nightclub populated by all the women he’s loved and left. In the worlds Woods conjures, childhood memories ripple through adult lives, and characters test the limits of their self-created realities. The Great Grown-Up Game of Make-Believe urges us to contemplate how we can escape loneliness and heartbreak and live on our own terms.

Johnsen relies on the power and shortcomings of language to highlight the ways “we are manhandled by mortality.” From a therapist’s office, to a cave in Italy, to the raspberry patch in her childhood backyard, the borders of the material world switch from roadblocks to entryways and back. Johnsen’s work is grounded in precise imagery and keen observation, with cycles of family, trauma, and language at its heart. The reader is literally invited in as Johnsen shifts from begging her brain and body for mercy to forcefully reclaiming her selfhood.

It’s about the life chosen and the life left unlived. Frances Klein takes the reader on a journey through both the pain and the pleasure in the paths followed. Each poem carries the reader a little further forward but doesn’t stop them from looking back and wondering What if? These poems explore memory and history and future and dreams, they delve into desire in all its forms and ask questions that linger long after you’ve read them. Another Life allows the reader to wonder at all that could have been while remaining grateful for all that is.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Kelly Foster Lundquist Signing: Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage Kelly Foster Lundquist was nineteen when she met Devin at church camp in the late ’90s. Immediately inseparable, the two bonded over bootleg Tori Amos recordings and a sense of disconnection from the spiritual fervor of their fellow camp counselors. Devin was classically handsome and Kelly on the plain side of pretty, but they matched. Their twinned search for God, acceptance, and love would profoundly shape the rest of their lives. In this striking debut memoir, Lundquist revisits her relationship with Devin twenty years after their divorce, as she investigates the “beard” trope in literature, culture, and her own romantic life. The straight woman who unwittingly marries a gay man is either a laughingstock or a fool—or both—in the popular imagination. And yet reality—much like desire—is more wild. Reality is midnight pad Thai, tenderness in Ralph Lauren sheets, ritual visits to Blockbuster, and beginning a PhD in queer theory while your husband secretly struggles to reconcile his double life. A tour de force of empathy and vivid prose, Beard reckons honestly with the harm done to both husband and wife by churches that required rigid performances of gender and sexuality. In contrast, Lundquist learns to let go of brittle certainties as she embraces what her first marriage taught her about risk and redemption.

What sources of solace and stability remain amid the ruins of industry, after the death of a parent, while raising children in an uncertain time alongside the ghosts of the past? How do we reconcile ourselves to the inevitability of change and protect what remains? A transcendent exploration of breakdown and renewal, of vulnerability and endurance, of personal and communal responses to loss, this book takes up the question of how to find shelter and make one’s way in an altered world.

When Dr. Maya Zhu, a guarded, intense autopsist, is summoned to investigate, she discovers she must operate under strict conditions Sweeney himself dictated before he died. As she digs deeper into his immense body, everything that can go wrong, does, because August Sweeney isn't about to let a little thing like death stop him from raising hell. The Death and Life of August Sweeney finds two people drawn together across the barrier of death. In her ruthless drive to excel as a doctor, Zhu has walled herself off from almost everything. As she dissects Sweeney, teasing out the mysteries hidden in his body, she begins to understand that she is doing an autopsy on her counterpoint: an equally ruthless artist who made excess his muse. As she obsesses over what happened to Sweeney under the strangest conditions of her career, her life– and August’ s death– will never be the same.

Obradovic looks back at a life that includes surviving the demise of her native country of Yugoslavia, the loss of her parents in the same year, and displacement from Hurricane Katrina. Her poetry encompasses loves and deaths, international travels and adjustments to American culture, often accompanied by a feeling of not belonging anywhere. What emerges from these richly evocative poems is a portrait of an artist who resists the call to assimilate, and instead carves her own unique path, continuing to dream.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST	Daniel Tobin- The Odeon The Odeon, a new volume of essays by the celebrated poet and critic Daniel Tobin, takes its title from the classical Greek and Roman buildings designed for the presentation of musical and poetic compositions. Organized around the question of “sensibility”—with its various social, philosophical, and aesthetic connotations—the collection presents a sequence of related essays exploring both resonances and dissonances in the traditions of modern and contemporary poetry. Although Tobin surveys a broad spectrum of works—ranging from John Donne and Emily Dickinson to writers from the twenty-first century such as Mark Doty, Louise Glück, and Carl Phillips—his emphasis remains on details of poetic practice, technique, metaphysical outlook, and artistic aspiration. What most informs these essays is Tobin’s own practice as a poet, his own sensibility, which is at once eclectic and yet very much calibrated to matters of what one theologian termed “ultimate concern.” The Odeon offers an incisive foray into the state of the art of poetry in our time.

With dazzling erudition and playful ingenuity, she deploys exuberant wordplay and traditional poetic forms to subvert the patriarchal canon. At the heart of the book is a profound exploration of voice, not least the ongoing silencing of women’s voices: Egan blends righteous anger with grief, ultimately finding hope in the transformative power of language.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST	John Wall Barger- Resurrection Pie A resurrection pie is defined as any dish made from yesterday’s leftovers—a meal that, in essence, rises from the dead. In this spirit, John Wall Barger’s new collection of poetry calls forth the past and its dead, describing a bardo-like psychic terrain in a language of fable and trauma. The poems move fast and strange: a man arrives at his ex-lover’s island of secrets; a mourner coughs up red flower petals; a man walks backward across Philadelphia as bodies rise out of the ground; a boy watches his dead sister’s flea circus through a magnifying glass. In language by turns vivid and destabilizing, Barger writes the odd, the marvelous, and the wounded with unguarded clarity. Resurrection Pie is a work of serious play: absurd, intimate, melancholic. Dispatches from inside the fever dream. Exhibitor Name : LSU Press Booth Number: 834	Exhibitor Name : LSU Press Booth Number: 834	2026030613:3014:30 000	FRI, MAR 6

It combines the rich images and musical language of poetry with prose’s capacity to share personal narratives and information from wide-ranging sources. Diverse content and innovative form distinguish a book that explores the places in which its author, Rose McLarney, finds herself as a woman from the mountain South—in history, national dialogues, public spaces, the natural world, and lineages that extend beyond an individual’s life on earth.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Logan Phillips Signing: RECKON Logan Phillips is a poet and cultural worker based in Tucson, Arizona (traditional lands of the Tohono O’odham). He is author of Sonoran Strange, alongside numerous poetry chapbooks and art books, including the NoVoGRAFíAS series (2009–present). A seasoned performer and collaborator, Phillips has toured his work internationally, working on a wide range of arts, education, and land-based projects. He completed an MFA at the University of Arizona. www.dirtyverbs.com./ About the Book: What’s it like to have been born in Tombstone, Arizona? In Reckon, artist Logan Phillips returns to the fabled town to face the history he was raised on as a boy—gunfights, outlaws, and Hollywood cowboys—for a new, personal confrontation with the West’s foundational mythology. This hybrid memoir also explores sexuality, masculinity, parenting, and what it means to love a land rife with contradiction and “slathered in murder.” As innovative as it is moving, this memoir is constructed of essays, photography, poetry, newspaper clippings from the Tombstone Epitaph Local Edition, and of course, movie screenplays. As he writes the characters of his past––including Youngfather and Teenme––Phillips finds the real history to be much more complex than the stories he was told. This is Tombstone in the 1980s and 90s, a century after the West’s most famous gunfight––a fifteen-second event still performed every day in historical reenactments––where Phillips’s father works as a historical exhibit designer at the Courthouse Museum and his uncle as a stuntman at Old Tucson Studios. With an original, searing voice, Reckon is an essential answer to the tough questions of past and future, inheritance and reinvention, all from the perspective of a boy stuck in the middle.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Silvia Bonilla Signing: CITY OF EVES Silvia Bonilla holds an MFA from the New School. She is the author of the chapbook An Animal Startled by the Mechanism of Life. Her work has been featured in Blackbird, Green Mountains Review, and Cream City Review. She has received support from the Kenyon Review Writer’s Workshop, Sewanee Writer’s Conference, Napa Valley Conference, Community of Writers, the Saltonstall Foundation, and Juniper Institute. About the Book: In "City of Eves," Silvia Bonilla evokes the lives and longing of three young women who suspect the wider world is a ship on the verge of departure—and who are determined not to be stranded on shore. Sonia and her two best friends grow up on the urban coast of Ecuador, sharing cigarettes, school uniforms, and a determination to overcome their circumstances even if the price to pay is exile. Full of fantasies and curiosity, the friends navigate hunger at home, absent parents, and religious pressures as they help each other through the pleasures and traumas of adolescence. As their desire for something greater changes from dreams into actions, they pursue escape routes that hover between choice and compulsion: forced marriages, early widowhood, and a death-haunted migration to the United States. Even in the throes of escape, the constraints of their reality always lie waiting. Subtle and unsparing, Bonilla’s lyrical poems capture the wild inner horizons and vivid embodiment of youth as it shades into the reflective poignance of maturity marked by disappointment, compromise, and loss. Despite this, it is memories of deep friendship, bonded through shared understanding and aspiration, that lingers. Looking back on her life, Sonia recalls the courage and vitality of girls determined to shape their own futures: “We lifted Coca-Cola bottles to the / opened granadilla of our mouths.” Exhibitor Name : The University of Arizona Press Booth Number: 838	Exhibitor Name : The University of Arizona Press Booth Number: 838	2026030515:0016:00 000	THU, MAR 5

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST	Danielle P. Williams Signing: CHAMORRITA SONG Danielle P. Williams is a Black and Chamorro poet, translator, essayist, and spoken-word artist from Columbia, South Carolina. She received her BA in Arts administration from Elon University in 2016 and MFA in poetry from George Mason University in 2021. Her chapbook, Who All Gon’ Be There?, was a finalist for the Button Poetry Chapbook Contest and selected from the Backbone Press 3rd Annual Chapbook Competition for publication in fall 2021. She currently lives in Los Angeles, where she works as a copywriter and creative strategist. About the Book: For poet and spoken-word artist Danielle P. Williams, Kantan Chamorrita is more than just the ancient craft of Chamorro folk song. It is also a return and a homecoming. This impromptu style of communal call-and response performance art forms the spokes for Williams’s debut collection. Rooted in oral tradition, "Chamorrita Song" pays homage to Black and Chamorro cultures, honoring the artistic expressions that these communities have created to reconcile lifetimes of imposed trauma. Bearing witness to these many narratives, Williams intertwines spoken word poetry and gospel music with Chamorro storytelling, weaving together the nuanced histories of queer, Black, and Indigenous existence and literature. Here Williams reveals capacious contemporary forms that speak to the future as well as to the past and that further ground lineages in homelands, finding strength and beauty in collective pain and triumph. These poems transform and spread the messages of those long silenced. They act as song and prayer.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST	Chelsea Whitton- Wonder Wheel Chelsea Whitton’s debut poetry collection, Wonder Wheel, dexterously whirls in sonic circles, ruminating on themes of spiritual bestowal and terrestrial bequest, millennial identity, adult friendship, feminine desire, and the mythmaking at stake in family history. Disoriented speakers who nevertheless believe they know where they are going, and what they are doing, provide an occasion for lyric expansiveness and periodic bathos, including elegies for June Carter Cash, Patsy Cline, the author’s father, an ex-cat, and others. At the heart of the collection is a rhyming sonnet crown that offers a wicked inversion of the book’s larger vision by constructing an apocalyptic mythology of matrilineal inheritance reliant on resistance, destruction, and martyrdom as much as on cycles of creation and healing.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Manuel Iris Signing: THE WHOLE EARTH IS A GARDEN OF MONSTERS Winner of the Ambroggio Prize of the Academy of American Poets Manuel Iris is a Mexican-born American poet who has served as poet laureate of Cincinnati, Ohio, writer-in-residence at the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library, and writer-in-residence at Thomas More University. In 2021, he was named a member of the National System of Art Creators of Mexico. Iris is the author of five poetry collections, published in several countries. He has received national and international recognition for his poetic work. About the Book: This award-winning bilingual collection intertwines the lives of a Renaissance painter and a modern migrant worker, offering a fresh perspective on art and migration. In this highly imaginative work, the lives of the northern Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450–1516) and an imagined contemporary migrant worker named Juan Coyoc, later known as Juan Domínguez, run in parallel as they mirror each other across languages, time, and continents. By comparing and at times intertwining these two poetic narratives, the book explores themes of art, migration, narco-violence, family, spirituality, and the idea that every human being represents all humanity at any moment in history. Both Hieronymus Bosch and Juan Domínguez become relatable and intimate figures, part of our own story. Written in simple, sharp language, the book employs surprising imagery and a novel structure to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, while examining the intricacies of the human condition—from the life of Saint Anthony to the violent acts of narcos across Central America and the U.S.-Mexico border. With formal sophistication and philosophical depth, this work enriches the tradition of poetry about both migration and art, contributing to the literary heritage of Mexico and the United States over the past several decades.

From the quiet sorrows of everyday slight to the overwhelming crises of ecological collapse and gendered violence, these poems document what is occurring—the horrendous and the intimate, the anguished and the magnificent. With ethical attention, Jami Macarty’s collection engages the political, ecological, and personal forces that shape and mark our lives, offering an ecofeminist ethic of care as an antidote to extractive capitalism and patriarchal norms. Each poem meditates on power, insists on articulating what is being lost—and what must be saved and reclaimed. Amid the exploitation and violence, these poems find moments of grace: the scent of a sea rose, a desert walk in spring, the company of birds, Earth entire. The Long Now Conditions Permit is both tender elegy and urgent call, exhorting readers to grapple with the devastating failings of humanity and the saving possibilities of love.

Each poem in this collection inhabits a moment of Blake’s life, offering a vivid glimpse into his unique perspective—a perspective that rejected the normative for the transformative power of imagination. From his visionary watercolors to his provocative views on oil painting, these poems draw readers into Blake’s world, where reality and the unseen converge in prismatic intensity.

Spataro Book Signing: More Strange Than True After an epically shitty day, Jewell Jamieson decides to throw herself a pity party for two – herself and her standard poodle, Oberon. Unknowingly she eats a meal spiked with magic and then makes a sloppy drunken wish. When Jewell awakes the next morning, she discovers her beloved dog Oberon is gone and, in his place, (in her bed) is a beautiful naked man. Things get complicated when Titania, the impulsive Queen of the Faeries, decides she wants Oberon for herself. Is Oberon simply a man who used to be a dog, or is he somehow something more? When Jewell discovers the answer, she will be faced with a devastating choice. Will she choose to save the man she’s grown to love by giving him up, or will she honor his wishes and watch him die? Set in contemporary Philadelphia, More Strange Than True can be best described as a mash-up of literary fiction and grounded fantasy in the vein of Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic or Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus – and there’s lots of Shakespeare. The novel takes some of its characters (and its title) from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Other characters are pulled from Greek Mythology and Goethe’s poem “The Elf King.” Exhibitor Name : lovethebook Booth Number: 157	Exhibitor Name : lovethebook Booth Number: 157	2026030512:3013:30 000	THU, MAR 5
Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST	Maya Jewell Zeller signing · Sat. afternoon Raised by Ferns (Porphyry Press 2026) \| Born in a Pacific Northwest gas station to itinerant, countercultural parents, Maya Jewell Zeller came of age in a landscape where poverty, wildness, and self-reliance intertwined. Raised by Ferns traces the path of a feral girl craving both freedom and safety to a middle-class adult life shaped by academia, motherhood, and uneasy privilege. Refusing tired narratives of bootstrap triumph, Zeller instead renders rural America with intimate complexity. She writes with sharp lyricism and attention about what it means to live between worlds—material scarcity and cultural wealth, inherited distrust and institutional legitimacy. From leaking rentals to library stacks, from ferns and fire codes to scholarship and marital strife, Zeller’s life resists easy packaging yet finds form in layered essays that explore the complicated pursuit of belonging. Raised by Ferns offers a vital, compelling new take on the forces that shape identity and the choices that define home. It is a story of survival, but more importantly, of questioning for what—and who—it is worth surviving.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM EST	Aspiring Child: A Biography of Mary W. Shelley in Sonnets These 100 sonnets tell the story of an extraordinary young woman who had an immeasurable impact on literature and other media worldwide. The collection focuses on the period from her birth, as Mary Godwin (daughter of literary firebrands William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft), to her twenty-fourth year, when she returned to London after five years abroad: a widow and a mother to a young son, but with a scandalous reputation and no clear means of support. However, she was “The Author of ‘Frankenstein’.” The nom de plume carried the weight of a novel that had already become famous (indeed, infamous), and she understood that it may make it possible for her to support herself and her son via her pen. The sonnets also chronicle Mary Shelley’s interactions with some of the most influential writers and thinkers of her day: her husband Percy Shelley, of course, as well as Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Matthew “Monk” Lewis, John Polidori, Leigh Hunt, and others. And no biography of Mary Shelley would be complete without an accounting of the famous ghost story writing contest among the “Diodati Circle” in the year with no summer. Some of the sonnets first appeared in Feminist Spaces, The Poetry Lighthouse, Rockvale Review, The Soliloquist, Disturbances, HAUNTER Review, The Basilisk Tree, and The Brussels Review.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM EST	Book Signing w/ Poet Sarah Stern - Dear Letters In The Red Box (Kelsay Books) Join Epiphany in welcoming former contributor Sarah Stern (Issue 9, Spring/Summer 2011) to our booth as she signs copies of her newest poetry collection. Book description: In Dear Letters in the Red Box, Sarah Stern, through recently discovered letters and writings, explores her parents’ years in Paris between 1946 and 1951. Her parents met in New York City, eloped, and shortly thereafter moved to Paris. Her mother, a refugee from Germany, returned to Europe. Her father, an American, began medical school at the Sorbonne. Neither knew French, but they learned quickly. Many of the poems in this collection respond to the reverberations of those seminal years. Others speak to the present. In the eight sections of Dear Letters in the Red Box, the poems talk to each other through time, heightening their intricate connections. Blurb: “Thich Nhat Hanh coined the term “interbeing” to describe the deep connectiveness of all things. Reading Dear Letters in the Red Box, I feel how Sarah Stern internalizes that concept in her poems. She doesn’t shy away from the sadness of time passing, bittersweet memories, or the difficulties we face in our current world. “My dark heart, I hear you,” she says. Yet Stern is full of love—for her parents, for herself, for all the people and events that have touched her life. “I can’t explain the joy,” she writes. “It appeared somehow.”—Katrinka Moore, author of Diminuendo About the author: Sarah Stern is a poet and educator. She is the author of four poetry books: Dear Letters In The Red Box (Kelsay Books, 2026), We Have Been Lucky In The Midst of Misfortune (Kelsay Books, Aldrich Press, 2018), But Today Is Different (Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2014), and Another Word For Love (Finishing Line Press, 2011). She is an educator at Poets House, WritingWorkshops.com, and other venues. Stern is a six-time winner, the latest in 2024, of the Bronx Council on the Arts’ BRIO Award for Poetry. She was nominated for two Pushcart Prizes. She was short-listed for Ireland’s Fish Poetry Prize; a finalist for the Dora and Alexander Raynes Poetry Prize; and received Honorable Mentions from the Anna Davidson Rosenberg Awards and Lilith’s Poetry Prize. Her poems have appeared in magazines, anthologies and online, most recently in Slipstream, Visions International, Clockhouse, Epiphany, The Man Who Ate His Book: The Best of ducts.org, Dash, East on Central, FreeFall, The American Dream Anthology, The New Verse News, Rise Up Review, The RavensPerch, Swwim Every Day, What Rough Beast, The Woven Tale Press, and Verse Daily.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM EST	Book Signing w/ Marianne Villanueva - Residents of the Deep (Unsolicited Press) Join Epiphany in welcoming former contributor Marianne Villanueva to our booth as she signs copies of her newest short story collection, featuring her story "Night, Ocean," from Issue 33 of Epiphany. Book description: In "Ice", two men contemplate their future in a bleak, post-apocalyptic landscape: “The point is, there is no point. You just keep going. Even if there’s no point.” In "Dumaguete," a young boy must become his mother’s protector: it nearly tears him apart. In the title story, a ship captain discovers a city on the ocean floor and finds himself grappling with the notion of moral responsibility. Clear-eyed and lacerating, Marianne Villanueva’s RESIDENTS OF THE DEEP imagines human nature at moments of extremity. Vulnerable and challenged as most of these characters are, there is no denying their tenacity or capacity to endure. Reviews: “In Residents of the Deep, Marianne Villanueva traverses the depths and heights of a rich, fevered, and highly original imagination. We meet fantastical beings—by turns charming and nightmarish — who, when examined unsparingly, turn out to be versions of ourselves.”—Luis Francia, Poet, Playwright and Author of Eye of the Fish: A Personal Archipelago About the author: Marianne Villanueva was born and raised in the Philippines, received a creative writing fellowship from Stanford University, and now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is the author of five books, the most recent of which is Residents of the Deep: Stories (Unsolicited Press, August 2025). Her novella, Jenalyn, was a finalist for the UK’s Saboteur Award. Her first story collection, Ginseng and Other Tales from Manila, was a finalist for the Philippines' National Book Award. Her second collection, Mayor of the Roses, was the inaugural publication of the Miami University Press Fiction Series. She teaches for UCLA Extension’s Writers Program and has just completed a collection of linked stories set in 16th century Philippines.

This flash memoir is a collection of vignettes spanning several decades, focusing on personal growth. It describes his transition from a "good boy" to a "bad boy" and ultimately a "better man".

Her poetry has been published in journals like Rattle and Mudfish. She was a finalist for the 2020 Mudfish Poetry Prize and won 1st Place in the Performance Poets Association 2024 contest.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST	Ways of Walking WAYS OF WALKING brings together 26 writers who reflect on walks they have taken and what they have discovered along the way. Some walk across forbidden lines, violating laws to seek freedom. Some walk to bear witness to social injustice. Still others engage in a subtler subversion—violating the social norm of rapid, powered transportation to notice what fast travelers miss. Through walking, these authors become more attuned to the places they move across, more attentive to intricate ecologies and layered histories—and more connected to themselves as well. Their small steps of rebellion lead to unexpected discoveries. The volume includes writers of national renown such as Tom Zoellner, Ruth Knafo Setton, and Rahul Mehta, as well as contributors in other fields, from photography to music to archaeology. WAYS OF WALKING is the first in the ongoing series called WalkAbout Books, which includes both fiction and creative nonfiction related to walking as a means of discovery.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST	To Reach the Spring In the shadow of an escalating eco-crisis, how can we explain our society’s failure to act? What will we tell future generations? Are we paralyzed because the problem is so vast in scope, or are there deeper reasons for the widespread passivity? Nathaniel Popkin explores the moral, social, and psychological dimensions of the crisis, outlining a path to a future spring. “TO REACH THE SPRING is a tour de force, both an incisive reckoning with the full magnitude of the climate emergency along with a visionary understanding of how and why we have come to this place. I read this book with an unruly range of emotions and states of mind including shame, unspeakable grief, existential dread, curiosity, insight, admiration for the author but finally, most of all, hope. By illuminating how our reverence for earth is intrinsically connected to our capacity to hope and to heal leading to an inexorable yearning to act, Nathaniel Popkin has offered us a way forward. This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about our future.” —Gail Straub, award winning author, THE ASHOKAN WAY: LANDSCAPE'S PATH INTO CONSCIOUSNESS Exhibitor Name : New Door Books Booth Number: T332	Exhibitor Name : New Door Books Booth Number: T332	2026030613:0014:00 000	FRI, MAR 6

Through a series of lyrics, both personal and historical, the book’s sections constitute parts of an integrated whole that seeks a deeper understanding of the psychological roots of ethics: traumatic fracture, ecological holism, and the ineffable, multiple, communal dimensions of personhood, drawn to and from the dark of all we love, dread, and labor to transform.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Chloe Garcia Roberts Signing: CARNE DE DIOS Chloe Garcia Roberts is a poet and translator from Spanish and Chinese. She is the author of a book of poetry, The Reveal, which was published as part of Noemi Press’s Akrilica Series for innovative Latino writing, and Fire Eater: A Translator's Theology. Her translations include Li Shangyin’s Derangements of My Contemporaries: Miscellaneous Notes, which was awarded a PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant, and a collected poems of Li Shangyin published in the New York Review Books / Poets series. She lives outside Boston and works as deputy editor of the Harvard Review and as a lecturer of poetry at MIT. About the Book: In the remote mountains of Oaxaca, the Beatniks have arrived. María Sabina, the renowned Mazatec healer, spends her days in the small town of Huautla de Jiménez selling produce at the market and foraging under the new moon for the sacred mushrooms that grow near her home—her Holy Children, Carne de Dios, or Flesh of God. But her life changes forever when an amateur mycologist from New York, with a cameraman in tow, visits her to experience for himself the mushroom ceremony, or velada, he knows only from whispers in anthropological records. When he publishes an unauthorized article about his experience in LIFE Magazine 1957, the stage is set for an explosive encounter between the burgeoning international counterculture and the woman who became an unwilling icon of the psychedelic revolution. Homero Aridjis’s novel, vividly translated by Chloe Garcia Roberts, tells the story of the motley crew of bohemians, researchers, and holy fools, both real and imagined, who descend on the town of Huautla de Jiménez searching for inspiration, distraction, and salvation in the sacred mushrooms. These seekers melt in and out of a narrative infiltrated by the slipstream logic of dreams. As John Lennon plays jazz on the patio of the Hotel Grande, Juan Rulfo contemplates horror movies, and Allen Ginsberg recites mantras at Philip Lamantia’s wedding, María Sabina’s life is increasingly thrown into turmoil. Carne de Dios is a masterful and often humorous blend of history, myth, and poetic imagination, captured in a translation that mirrors the hallucinatory beauty of Aridjis’s original Spanish. Aridjis’s intimate portrayal of María Sabina, informed by his personal connection to her, serves as both a tribute to her enduring legacy and a critical reflection on the wave of global interest in mushroom culture still gaining momentum today. This English translation includes an introduction by the translator and an afterword by the author.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Jake Fournier signing Punishment Bag Join Jake Fournier as he signs copies of his debut poetry collection Punishment Bag! Jake Fournier’s Punishment Bag asserts that poetry ought to exceed its author’s intelligence. At once caustic and tender, this daring debut spans from dense, refractory lyrics to lucid narratives. As ghosts materialize at the periphery of late-night dialogues and spiritual seekers slide into hedonic disaffection, ordinary objects—creamer cups and plush koalas—accrue bizarre, sacred resonance. The collection hopscotches from the American Southwest to the exurbs of Paris and culminates in a piercing, Eliotic prose poem created from a destabilizing selection of autobiographical notes. Tracing the growth of a poet’s mind, Punishment Bag extends its readers an irresistible invitation to grow in turn, to delight in the tactile density of language, and, against a backdrop of ecocide and systemic injustice, to discover new ways to make meaning.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	J. Allyn Rosser signs copies of her lively, yet tender poetry collection that uncovers profound truths about mortality: Chronic Transience. Chronic Transience offers poems that uncover profound truths we didn't know we had missed. Rosser's formal skill is incomparable — a poet who can get more liveliness into a single word than many poets achieve in an entire poem. Her virtuosity always serves emotional truth, whether the hilarity of 'Notes on the Latin' or the poignancy of 'Assisted Living.' These poems pulse with the urgency of a life fully examined — from tender portraits of aging fathers to devastating wit. Rosser navigates between humor and heartbreak with extraordinary dexterity, finding in ordinary moments — a restaurant dinner, a death's door phone call, evening primrose blooming — a nerve center of human experience. Her eye for detail matches her ear for speech's music, creating verses that sing even as they sting. Chronic Transience faces mortality, yet these poems are indestructible. Rosser proves that existence's temporary nature makes it precious, transforming shared fragility into enduring art. Praise for Chronic Transience: This is simply a brilliant book. A necessary book. The artistry is impeccable, but it’s the soul of the thing that makes it so unique. J. Allyn Rosser has every poetic skill: an excellent ear, a sense of form that is both singular and ancient, and a mind alert to both the hilarities and the futilities of life. I find her work delightful, disturbing, and a deep consolation. — Christian Wiman A phrase from J. Allyn Rosser’s poem ‘Airportal’ will stay with me forever: ‘the weighty and sobering trappings of love.’ Simply as a line, it’s astonishing; but it’s also a terse guide to her whole effort, be it laugh-out-loud funny (see ‘Self of Steam’) or profoundly moving (see ‘Pre-Latter-Day Love Poem,’ the most beautiful love poem I’ve read in ages), or as a rule both. The sheer heft and seriousness of Rosser’s accomplishment, in the very best sense of those nouns, is as impressive as her extraordinary prosodic dexterity. To call Chronic Transience her best book is to say a mouthful, but so it is. — Sydney Lea J. Allyn Rosser is a poet of great range and intelligence. Over and over in Chronic Transience, I am seduced by a poetic voice that seems almost casual, the voice of a friend who slowly reveals — perhaps she has just discovered it! — a grand insight that I had not at all been expecting. How did we get here, I ask myself at the end of each poem . . . and I go back to the beginning, trying to figure it out, only to be surprised again by Rosser’s mastery of persona, of tone, of mind. Brilliant and sharp, poignant and witty, Chronic Transience is the work of one of this country’s smartest poets at the top of her game. — Kevin Prufer Author Bio: J. Allyn Rosser’s fourth collection of poems, Mimi’s Trapeze, appeared in 2014 from the University of Pittsburgh Press. Her work has been awarded the Morse Prize, the Crab Orchard Award, the New Criterion Poetry Prize, and Poetry magazine’s Bock and Wood prizes. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the Lannan Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Ohio Arts Council. She taught in Ohio University’s Creative Writing Program for many years, where she also served as Editor in Chief of New Ohio Review.

Composed of three parts, or “points,” like its namesake asterism, this collection is inspired by Stéphane Mallarmé’s idea of composing poetry from the “senseless splendor” of the skies, as well as the designs for automata by twelfth-century inventor and engineer Ismail al-Jazari, and mythological depictions of Sirius, the dog/wolf star, as both a keeper of order and the agent of chaos and energy.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST	Nicole Robinson signs her debut poetry collection that confronts trauma and its aftermath: Without a Field Guide Without a Field Guide combines lyric intensity with narrative sweep. This poet attends to the bare reality of trauma and its aftermath, the challenge of navigating life “without a field guide / to identify who I am or where I’m flying.” But if these poems focus on an individual healing process, they also surprise with their wide variety of subjects and tones, as with their depiction of a contemporary America marked by “reactionary blisters” as well as subtle beauties. At the center of the collection lies this poet’s unsentimental yet deeply joyful regard for the natural world that she portrays with vivid originality. Immersing herself and her reader in this ecology, Robinson ultimately returns to the human world with a new, hard-won tenderness. Praise for Without a Field Guide: The poems in Without a Field Guide are elegant, understated, finely wrought. Nicole Robinson explores trauma with a stunningly deft touch and enormous heart. She has a keen eye for the living world and speaks truth with complexity and compassion. Robinson writes, “Like Whitman, she thinks / she’ll do nothing for a while but listen.” This beautiful debut collection shows what such deep listening can reveal. — Ellen Bass There is a spine of light which runs through this book, though the poems quite often diverge from one another, from the delicate landscapes of our threatened natural world to the poet’s inner life, growing up female and lesbian, “straddling centuries” in America. It’s been a pleasure to greet this fine and long-awaited first collection. — Dorianne Laux In the tradition of Wordsworth and Rachel Carson, Whitman and Mary Oliver, these poems sing of the natural world, its balance and healing, its roots and leaves, its magnificent great blue heron. I admire their images, “field notes”, interwoven with an inner landscape that runs the gamut from shame and regret to beauty and love. I admire their grounded honesty and the sane humility of their voice. — Joseph Millar When we are lost, stitched shut, when are struck, what “leads the heart back,” I see, are bones, potatoes, beans, wings in the freezer, the quivering leaf-flags ants carry up the trunk of a tree. Or no, what leads the heart back is the singing of Robinson’s voice breaking what’s frozen into an opening. No guide perhaps, but singing all around. “I held my hand and stood up.” Indeed. — Kate Northrop I have such deep affection for these poems, which follow and lead and rend and comfort and guide me, which love me – yes! these poems love me, as I wander their landscapes of blessed damage, and my own. Here, water is “a god who punches the shore in the center / of our chest, leaves a gasp of breath / to name the moment when the inhale / isn’t enough,” the deer learn to survive by shopping at Dick’s Sporting Goods, and tenderness comes to us, clutches us, until we sing. This is a book that never flinches from grief, while also helping us glimpse raw, wild, sometimes even raucous redemption everywhere we look. — Ruth L. Schwartz Author bio: Nicole Robinson’s poems have appeared in Columbia Journal, The Fourth River, Great River Review, The Louisville Review, Spillway, Tahoma Literary Review, and elsewhere. She is the recipient of an Individual Excellence Award for poetry from the Ohio Arts Council and the Humanities Award from the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Currently serving as the narrative medicine coordinator at Akron Children’s Hospital, she resides in Ohio.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST	Leah Souffrant signs her creative collection that discuss how we create and inhabit the world: Entanglements Nothing less than a journey behind the scenes of her own creative process, Leah Souffrant’s Entanglements embraces the contingency, incompletion, difficulty, and uncertainty of artistic practice. At once intellectually rigorous and winningly immediate, Souffrant’s genre-busting collection conveys the fundamental “ways we come to know and create the world we inhabit and experience, both as experience and through experience.” Informed by her wide and deep knowledge of critical theory, aesthetics, and history – and by the fierce and compassionate spirit of feminist dissent – Souffrant includes the reader in her dynamic and emancipatory “poetics of non-delimiting.” Entanglements is Souffrant’s second book. Praise for Entanglements: Turning away from the noise of straightforward confession, Leah Souffrant chooses instead the murmuring intertext, the silent and slow route of listening to the shudder of language at those sonorous points where suffering and rapture collide and then part ways. Studying Entanglements entangles me in Souffrant’s open-hearted archive, and renews my faith in the poetics of bibliomancy, that charmed zone where yearning and reading intersect, and where Souffrant, terse as Duras, shows us how to feel at home. — Wayne Koestenbaum The force of Leah Souffrant’s roving, probing mind and the remarkable distances it both maps and collapses is exquisite. In this inspiriting, genre-refuting work, we encounter life’s difficult enmeshings, richly braided together with critical acuity, care, and verve. Souffrant’s vision, and what it alights on, is sui generis. — Jenny Xie A capacious, loving textile where meditations become fibers through which questions about art, memory, love, and human relationships intertwine, Leah Souffrant’s Entanglements will change how you think about reading, texts and bodily encounters with the world. Entanglements pulls at the fibers of history and humanity, inviting the reader to think about new ways of touching life and its artifacts. Simply put, this is a gorgeous book — and the reader will, too, become entangled in its brilliance and artistry and emerge changed. — Tyler Mills Love, memory, meaning, nation, narrative — with Entanglements Leah Souffrant touches every thread of the web, causing vibrations that remind us of how we are bound to the world and one another. That frisson, of coming into contact with the invisible, might once have been evidence of witchcraft, but now it is how we recognize poetry of colossal proportions. To look so unflinchingly at the invisible web that holds everything together, to feel its umbilical tug on your own life, requires a form of courage that Souffrant has in spades and, with her writing, she’ll lend you some. — Abby Paige Entanglements is a true “text” in the etymological traces of the word: both the act of weaving and the object woven. Leah Souffrant braids the philosophical, lyrical, bodily, gestural — historical memory and the memory of skin and sensation — in this mobile interface of transitions. In its vibrating incantations, Souffrant’s multimodal Entanglements rims generic borders…with indulgent thoughtfulness and disarming intimacy. — Chris Campanioni Author Bio: Leah Souffrant is a writer, scholar, artist, and teacher committed to interdisciplinary practice. She is the author of Plain Burned Things: A Poetics of the Unsayable (Collection Clinamen, PULG Liège 2017). She has been awarded the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Poetry and her scholarship was recognized by the Center for the Study of Women & Society. Her poetry has been a finalist for the National Poetry Award. The range of Souffrant’s work involves poetics, visual studies and art, translation, and critical work in literature, feminist theory, aesthetics, performance, and the ways knowledge and creative expression are interconnected – across and within writing and other arts. She teaches writing at New York University. Exhibitor Name : Unbound Edition Press Booth Number: 454	Exhibitor Name : Unbound Edition Press Booth Number: 454	2026030613:0014:00 000	FRI, MAR 6

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST	Aimee Parkison signs her engaging cross-genre collection that boldly confronts domestic violence: Body of Evidence Body of Evidence crosses boundaries between story and confession in a haunting speculative collection that confronts the aftermath of gendered violence by blurring the divide between fiction and nonfiction. Speculative fragments and nonlinear prose explore what remains unspoken in trauma's generational echoes. Avoiding graphic representations, Aimee Parkison examines how violence reverberates through communities and individual consciousness. Structured as exhibits in a case file, this hybrid mosaic challenges traditional storytelling to make invisible wounds visible. Each piece functions as both artistic exploration and cultural investigation, questioning how silence operates in survival. Through the constraint of compression, Body of Evidence demonstrates how micro narratives can serve as witness and testimony. Previous Praise for Aimee Parkison: These are stories both about the difficulty and the intense suddenness of human connection, about the profound link that exists between being in love and being alone. — Brian Evenson One of the most innovative fiction writers working today. — Gina Frangello Parkison’s prose flows with a subtle, musical rhythm that only prose can achieve, and then rarely... Every sentence, every sentence, is exquisite. — Hayden's Ferry Review Extraordinary, character-driven tales from a sublime voice that resonates. — Kirkus Reviews These sometimes violent, sometimes visionary stories haunt the reader for days, and make the ordinary world look stranger. — Alison Lurie Delicate, graceful, luminous, evocative. — Cris Mazza Aimee Parkison is a shrewd, fiery, wildly poetic, politically astute writer of fiction. — Jane McCafferty Dangerous to the bone. — Lance Olsen Parkison treats violence, voyeurism, innocence, and guilt with imagery sharpened to its finest edge. — Publishers Weekly Aimee Parkison, whose stories have garnered both critical praise and prestigious awards, maintains a voyeur's densely layered dynamic with the world. It is easy to get seduced as much by the sonic texture of her accomplished prose as by its startling cinematic imagery. — Review of Contemporary Fiction As a writer, Aimee Parkison is what my younger female colleagues admiringly call a badass bitch. Daring and unforgettable.— TANK Magazine A triumph of the imaginal in the face of a culture that would see us silenced, dead, and gone. — Lidia Yuknavitch Author Bio: Aimee Parkison, a writer of experimental prose, is widely published and the recipient of numerous awards, including the FC2 Catherine Doctorow Innovative Fiction Prize, the Kurt Vonnegut Prize from North American Review, an Isherwood Fellowship, a North Carolina Arts Council Fellowship, and a Writers at Work Fellowship.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Tyler Mills explores historically-provoking family secrets in her captivating memoir: The Bomb Cloud A shimmering memoir defined equally by its lyrical prose and profound historical implications, The Bomb Cloud untangles the intersecting strands of information running through a family mystery shaped by national secrets. From craggy cliffs in New Mexico to the haunting White Sands Missile Range, poet Tyler Mills meditates on the journeys that curiosity and research demand. Mills wonders about the nature of memory and writing itself, which surface as subjects — and asks what it means to discover, create, and re-create narratives in a search for illusive clarity. How can one navigate through gaps in the fence around forbidden knowledge and confront what seems to be the truth? Extending from the poems in Mills’ Hawk Parable, this memoir wrestles with her grandfather’s likely involvement in a top-secret bomb wing that trained in the New Mexico desert, taking the reader to the very edge of the unknowable. The Bomb Cloud offers a story through essays about ecological crisis, family intrigue, personal and collective trauma, borders and the American Southwest, and mothering and legacy. It also splits open what it means to grapple with a history, a past, a place, and a self through language. The Bomb Cloud includes 10 pieces of original, multi-media art by the author exploring the questions posed by the book. Praise for The Bomb Cloud: Building out—as if in staggered waves—from a ‘classified’ photo in a family album, The Bomb Cloud grapples with the vexing indeterminacy that afflicts events that become history. What was her grandfather’s role at White Sands, at Hiroshima? What took place in the realm of the unsaid? Doggedly forensic, self-scouring, Tyler Mills works the evidence and asks the hardest questions. There is a palpable tremor at the heart of her account. — Sven Birkerts, author of Changing the Subject: Art and Attention in the Internet Age Tyler Mills is a gorgeous, deft writer, and to read The Bomb Cloud is to be seduced by a beauty which belies its content, like the children who played in the snow-like fallout of an atomic bomb test in 1940s New Mexico. Mills is also tenacious and truth-seeking, and The Bomb Cloud is an unflinching look at the horrors of atomic warfare on people, the environment, a nation’s sense of self, and the repercussions, big and small, of faulty collective and personal memory, and of living inside a white supremacist patriarchy. “I had stepped into the murky stillness of the system that had put men in charge,” Mills writes, “and I mucked up the dirt.” Reading The Bomb Cloud will leave you feeling grateful for the muck. — Lynn Melnick, author of I’ve Had to Think Up a Way to Survive: On Truma, Persistence, and Dolly Parton Mills writes that “the beauty of New Mexico is one of high contrast,” and I feel that in this work as she tries to uncover unsettling truths with the lush language of a dexterous poet. In this powerful memoir that “brings disparate materials together [to]…invite readers to look more deeply at them,” she has “jigsawed the past together” through “study[ing] the shadows.” A book of history, family, art, and legacy, The Bomb Cloud is as much about destruction and loss as it is about creation. Through lyric prose, photographs, and collage, Mills demonstrates for us the recursive nature of building a narrative map of the unknowable as she strives to reconcile what we know and what we’ve been told with what the records show. — Chet’la Sebree, author of Field Study and Mistress Tyler Mills is a hauntingly powerful writer. Her new book, The Bomb Cloud, has levels of amazement that get richer the deeper you go. It’s gorgeous stuff that you won’t soon forget. — Luis Urrea, author of The Devil’s Highway Author Bio: Born in Chicago, Tyler Mills (she/her) is the author of City Scattered (Snowbound Chapbook Award, Tupelo Press 2022), Hawk Parable (Akron Poetry Prize, University of Akron Press 2019), Tongue Lyre (Crab Orchard Series in Poetry First Book Award, Southern Illinois University Press 2013), and co-author with Kendra DeColo of Low Budget Movie (Diode Editions Chapbook Prize, Diode Editions 2021). Her memoir, The Bomb Cloud, received a Literature Grant from the Café Royal Foundation NYC and is forthcoming from Unbound Edition Press in 2024. A poet and essayist, her poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Guardian, The New Republic, The Believer, and Poetry, and her essays in AGNI, Brevity, Copper Nickel, River Teeth, and The Rumpus. She lived and taught in New Mexico four years, most recently serving as the Burke Scholar for the Doel Reed Center for the Arts in Taos, NM, and now teaches for Sarah Lawrence College’s Writing Institute and the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center.

Organized into four distinct sections, each featuring seven poems that vary in style and content, "For Lack of a Dictionary" reflects the diverse facets of human complexity and the struggle to find a language capable of addressing them. Beginning with a mythopoetic exploration of the self and progressing through varied voices and forms—from the epistolary and the erotic to the elegiac—the collection navigates the absences and presences that shape our interpersonal connections. From Homer’s Iliad to Hobbes’s Leviathan, and from the intimate letters of the Rosenbergs to the television broadcasts of lunar landings, Morris revisits epic figures of classical literature with a contemporary voice, concluding with poignant reflections on personal loss and the seductive allure of magical thinking in times of grief.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST	Chris Campanioni signs his daring, identity-seeking cross-genre collection: A and B and Also Nothing How can we re-write American identity? In this daring second edition of his celebrated cross-genre A and B and Also Nothing, Chris Campanioni reads and recasts his own life through the works of Henry James and Gertrude Stein. He does so with an amalgam of annotations, observations, aphorisms, and asides, dissolving the boundaries between journal and novel, autobiography and fiction. Then, he goes further, imagining several other books inside this one, including an exploration of the ways in which migrant illegality has been fabricated and shaped since — and how this informs a critical evaluation of technology's role in capturing and containing bodies in life and text. It is the interplay of the real, the not real, and the not yet real that propels A and B and Also Nothing toward a fresh blueprint for American identity — all captured through a notebook poetics that centers copying, collection, and recollection as primary creative acts. A and B and Also Nothing — now with a new coda and photographs by the author — is a call and response to the avant-garde, an attendance to the community of BIPOC writers who have often been overlooked despite their meaningful influence on American culture. In Campanioni’s fluid, lyrical sequences, the vital roles of migration, dislocation, and exile in America’s literary and intellectual genealogy get restored. More than anything else, it is this hypothesized convergence of the real, the not real, and the not yet real that propels A AND B AND ALSO NOTHING toward a blueprint for American identity built on errancy and errantry, hospitality and mutability, and a reevaluation of the exclusionary practices premised on the fetishization of origin and the original; the singularity of specialization. "Against nothing," Campanioni writes, "if not against expertise and the territorial character of art." In introducing the game and inviting all of us, A AND B AND ALSO NOTHING is both a call and a response to the avant-garde, an attention to the community of neo-mestizo writers and writers of color who have, consistently, been left out of its genealogy. Praise for A and B and Also Nothing: … a brilliant manifesto-aria on what it means to attend, to concentrate, to listen, to resist, and to reckon. Imaginatively jamming together James’s The American and Stein’s The Making of Americans, Campanioni reshuffles nationality, borders, and genealogy. — Wayne Koestenbaum, in BOMB … transforms and provokes American history and its relationship to our present moment of cultural upheaval. — Ruben Quesada, in The Harvard Review … a writer without limits, as inexhaustibly experimental. — Miciah Hussey, in CRUSHFanzine Besides being a nonfiction bestseller, A and B and Also Nothing is also a literary critique, an exploration of rhetoric, and a rich and intimate personal narrative. — Davon Loeb, in Los Angeles Review of Books … an abundance of intertextual commentary, an almost Pac-Man consumption of theory and literature. — Christopher Linforth, in 3:AM Magazine Author Bio: Chris Campanioni was born in Manhattan in 1985 and grew up in a very nineties New Jersey.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST	Christian Bancroft signs his haunting cross-genre collection about queer Holocaust victims: A Ghost Has No Fantasies Through haunting poetry and prose, A Ghost Has No Fantasies illuminates the forgotten voices of LGBTQ+ individuals who suffered under Nazi persecution. Drawing from archival documents, survivor testimonies, and Gestapo files, Christian Bancroft weaves together the intimate stories of those imprisoned under Paragraph 175 and beyond — gay men, lesbians, and transgender individuals whose experiences have long remained in the shadows of Holocaust memory. From the vibrant queer communities of pre-war Berlin to the brutalities of concentration camps, these poems bear witness to love, resistance, and survival in the face of state-sponsored violence. Bancroft transforms fragments of testimony into powerful verse that honors both the lived experiences and the silences that followed liberation, when many survivors faced continued criminalization and denial of their suffering. At a time when LGBTQ+ rights remain under threat globally, this collection serves as both memorial and warning — a testament to the resilience of human love against the machinery of hatred. Praise for A Ghost Has No Fantasies: Here are the voices of Gad Beck and Stefan Kosinski, Pierre Seel and Rudolf Brazda, gay men alive at the most perilous of times. Here are their stories, their prayers, their desires set against the vastness of the Holocaust that would incarcerate them, castrate them, brutalize them, and kill them. Christian Bancroft has produced a kaleidoscopic work of docupoetics, vast in its scope and historical vision, one that draws our attention at last to the intimate voices of individuals otherwise lost in a time that would obliterate them. Brilliant, inventive, and deeply moving, A Ghost Has No Fantasies is poetry and reportage at their most powerful. This is a book that demands our attention. — Kevin Prufer Drawing from testimonies, oral histories, legal records, and memoirs, Christian Bancroft has crafted a devastating chorus of voices returned now to haunt our political present. With an ear deeply attuned to the vitality and fearlessness of persecuted lives, in the register of survival from brutalities of the past, these poems configure a “shape and history of passion” suspended between lyric clarity and the symbolic vandalism needed to refute the impassive inventories of the archive. — Roberto Tejada It's easy to forget how many LGBTQIA+ people were legally executed across centuries. Lorca was shot by his government; Cavafy suppressed homoerotic poems to protect his life. One of the most heinous expressions of state-sanctioned executions of gender-expressive people, including women, were perpetrated by the Nazis. The Nazis hunted, imprisoned, and marched gender-expressive people into ovens. Survivors never received restitution. In this stunning debut, Christian Bancroft excavates this history with elegant sobriety. These tender, quiet poems also bite — tactile explorations where pages are scratched, torn, ravaged like our histories and bodies. A Ghost Has No Fantasies holds colliding histories while never abandoning queer desire's beauty: "When the bombs were falling,/ we made love on the train." Bancroft's remarkable accomplishment holds both terror and desire simultaneously without burning — a triumphant project of reclamation and exaltation. — Robin Coste Lewis Author Bio: Christian Bancroft received his Ph.D. from the University of Houston and is the recipient of a Michener Fellowship. He is also the author of Queering Modernist Translation: The Poetics of Race, Gender, and Queerness (2020) and the co-editor of the 2018 Unsung Masters Series volume, Adelaide Crapsey: The Life & Work of an American Master. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Callaloo, The Missouri Review, Prairie Schooner, Petrichor, and Asymptote, among others.

It investigates the mutual and compounding complications of these two shifts in identity while examining legacy, history, ancestry, land, home, and language. The collection is heavily focused on the latter, including formal experimentation with hybridity and polyvocality, combining English and Portuguese, interrogating translation and transforming traditional repeating poetic forms. These poems from the perspective of an immigrant mother of an American child create a complex picture of the beauty, danger and parental love the speaker finds and the legacy she brings to her reluctant new motherland.

Mary Biddinger’s novella in linked flash stories conjures outrageous fashion and the oddest of odd jobs, sparing no detail when immersing readers in bedrooms, dancefloors, lakeshore beaches, and university seminars. Set before smartphones filled every pocket, The Girl with the Black Lipstick chronicles a bygone era of performance and spectacle. Biddinger offers vivid, surreal vignettes told in the heat of the moment or recalled as we follow Van Pelt from her first days of graduate school into life as a tenured professor. Our heroine and her roommate overcome predicaments and deepen their bond while simultaneously ignoring and obsessing over the future, blissfully unaware of challenges ahead until those challenges arrive. The Girl with the Black Lipstick is a tale of deep creativity and found family, paying tribute to those who support our youthful selves in unexpected ways.

They retreat to the privacy of suburban woods and swamps, a world of their own glimmering with ruin and possibility: abandoned furniture, mud-caked jewelry, a time machine. The poems in this collection occupy, as Judith Herman describes it, the space between “the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud.” Ultimately, Python with a Dog Inside It is not only a story of survival, but one of redemption. By proclaiming the events of a particular, harrowing childhood, McDonough invents a future beyond it, one marked by radical openness, hope’s flame brighter for the darkness.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST	Talking with Boys by Tayyba Kanwal - Book Signing “Tayyba Kanwal’s stellar Talking with Boys crisscrosses Houston, Dubai, and Lahore (and nearby surrounds) over seven decades in 15 intriguingly linked stories…Arrival to a destination, Kanwal posits, offers no guarantee–some might choose to return home, others might forcibly be removed. Welcome can never be expected. Writing in straightforward prose infused with meticulous insight, Kanwal presents notable characters commanding attention and inspiring lingering empathy.” –Shelf Awareness, STARRED REVIEW “Kanwal’s prose combines Sandra Cisnero’s lyricality with Jhumpa Lahiri’s profound cultural understanding, but with a voice that is uniquely her own. Each story captures the Pakistani and Pakistani American experience in a way that will linger with the reader long after… In the end, Kanwal leaves us with a striking truth: freedom lies in the courage to keep moving forward.” –Southern Review of Books “Magical, intricate and disarming…each story is multifaceted and complex, and reading even just one is a transformative experience.” –Ms. Magazine Exhibitor Name : Black Lawrence Press Booth Number: 650	Exhibitor Name : Black Lawrence Press Booth Number: 650	2026030711:0012:00 000	SAT, MAR 7
Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST	Summonings by Raena Shirali - Book Signing summonings Raena Shirali Publication Date: October 1, 2022 Description Indebted to the docupoetics tradition, Raena Shirali’s summonings investigates the ongoing practice of witch (“daayan”) hunting in India. Here, poems interrogate the political implications & shortcomings of writing Subaltern personae while acknowledging the author’s Westernized positionality. Continuing to explore multi-national and intersectional concerns around identity raised in her debut collection, Shirali asks how first- & second-generation immigrants reconcile the self with the lineages that shape it, wondering aloud about those lineages’ relationships to misogyny & violence. These precarious poems explore how antiquated & existing norms surrounding female mysticism in India & America inform each culture’s treatment of women. As Jericho Brown wrote of Shirali’s poetics in GILT, her “comment on culture, on identity, on justice is her comment on poetry.” summonings is comment on power & patriarchy, on authorial privilege & the shifting role of witness, &, ultimately, on an ethical poetics, grounded in the inevitable failure to embody the Other.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST	Book Signing w/ Asa Drake - Maybe the Body (Tin House) Join Epiphany in welcoming former contributor Asa Drake (Issue 34) to our booth as she signs copies of poetry collection MAYBE THE BODY, published by Tin House Books, 2026. Book description: In her stunning debut poetry collection, MAYBE THE BODY, Asa Drake witnesses firsthand the conflicts between art and patriotism, labor and longing. She reaches for the lush landscapes—real and recounted—of the Philippines and the American South as she traces the lineage of a body shaped by economic, ecological, and political dissonance. As one poem reminds us, “it’s so hard to write about love without writing about the country we live in.” These thirty-eight poems, threaded together with a six-part braided sequence, bind a multigenerational conversation between grandmothers, mothers, and aunts through a range of forms, from pantoums to prose poems. With its vivid imagery and an unforgettable lyrical perspective, MAYBE THE BODY reconsiders the “natural” transactions of work, intimacy, and the poem itself. Reviews: “Maybe the Body is a radiant collection, a generous offering full of flora and fury, plums, and caterpillars. These poems are a field of inheritance where language, history, and lineage collide, and in Drake’s capable hands, the body becomes both question and altar.” —Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of Wonders and Oceanic About the author: Asa Drake is a Filipina/white poet and teaching artist in Central Florida. She is the author of Maybe the Body (Tin House, 2026) and Beauty Talk (Noemi Press 2026), winner of the 2024 Noemi Press Book Award. Her chapbook One Way to Listen was selected by Taneum Bambrick as the winner of Gold Line Press’s 2021 Poetry Chapbook Competition. A National Poetry Series finalist, she is the recipient of fellowships and awards from the 92Y Discovery Poetry Contest, the Florida Book Awards, the Rona Jaffe Foundation, Storyknife, Sundress Publications, Tin House, Idyllwild Arts and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Her poems can be found on The Slowdown Podcast, The American Poetry Review, The Paris Review Daily and Poetry Daily.

War and physical violence have been rendered obsolete. Now tellers are pitted against each other, spinning tales out of storylight to outmaneuver the other, whether in battle, for glory, or in a bid to stave off poverty and hunger. But the teller must be careful, as a story lost in combat is lost forever—and with it, sometimes, a part of the teller. "An intricate spiral staircase of a book ... fascinates from first page to last." —Madeline ffitch "Ruiner ruined me. A magic system like nothing I've ever seen before, and the characters and the story are every bit as fresh and dazzling as the worldbuilding." —Sam J.
