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 EDT	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 EDT	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.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM EDT	Jill Christman/The Heart Folds Early This book is about what it means to make a choice. 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?

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM EDT	Sue William Silverman/Selected Misdemeanors The essays in Selected Misdemeanors are unapologetic word grenades lobbed into an otherwise complacent forgetfulness. 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.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM EDT	Teo Rivera-Dundas/Slow Guillotine Slow Guillotine follows three broke weirdos whose collective desire to make and think about art is constantly interrupted by their art-industry-adjacent minimum-wage jobs. 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 EDT	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 EDT	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?

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.

Brown writes with uncommon grace, weaving a tapestry of memory and regret so real you can feel it in your bones. This has the wonder and sorrow of Denis Johnson's Train Dreams and the raw power of classic Southern fiction. A sweeping evocation of a lost time and a forgotten life.” —Kent Wascom, author of the Washington Post’s and NPR’s best book of the year The Blood of Heaven Exhibitor Name : Malarkey Booth Number: T506	Exhibitor Name : Malarkey Booth Number: T506	2026030711:3012:00 000	SAT, MAR 7

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.

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.

Thursday, Mar 05, 2026	Thursday, Mar 05, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT	Logan Phillips 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 EDT	Silvia Bonilla 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 EDT	Danielle P. Williams 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 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT	Manuel Iris Winner of the Ambroggio Prize of the Academy of American Poets 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.

Praisesong for the People 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.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDT	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.

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

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT	Chloe Garcia Roberts Carne de Dios: A Novel 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 EDT	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 EDT	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 EDT	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.

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.

Saturday, Mar 07, 2026	Saturday, Mar 07, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT	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 EDT	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. His research connecting media studies with studies of migration has been awarded a Mellon Foundation fellowship and the Calder Prize and his writing has received the International Latino Book Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the Academy of American Poets College Prize.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT	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.

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.

Friday, Mar 06, 2026	Friday, Mar 06, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDT	Ruiner (Tellers, Book 1) A political fantasy where storytelling is combat magic and ordinary people must fight against exploitation and environmental destruction. 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.
