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?

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.

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.

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.

Ryan Teitman
Ryan Teitman’s second book uses myths and meditations to create gemlike, multifaceted poems. Filled with doubles and dreams, Paperweight dives into how humans harness their ability to create—whether to make works of art or to simply find hope in the depths of grief. By exploring the boundaries of the prose poem, Teitman finds unexpected lenses through which to view the beauty of the natural world, the breadth of contemporary culture, and the narratives of everyday life.

Annah Browning
Annah Browning’s poetry collection Cryptid takes on weird phenomena and real desire. 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.

ONLY SON (LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD)
Florida, 1982. 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.

Monica Ferrell Book Signing: The Future
Join Monica Ferrell to grab a pre-release copy of The Future, her new collection forthcoming March 15th!
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.

Maggie Dietz Book Signing: If You Would Let Me
Join Maggie Dietz to grab a pre-release copy of If You Would Let Me, her new collection forthcoming March 15th!
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. She has taught creative writing at Stanford and San Francisco State University. MATTHEW CLARK DAVISON is the author of Doubting Thomas and founder of The Lab, a generative writing workshop.

Chris Crowder Book Signing: The Kin of Nakedness
Join Chris Crowder to grab a pre-release copy of The Kin of Nakedness, his debut collection of poetry forthcoming March 15th!
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.

Matthew Tuckner Book Signing: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
Join Matthew Tuckner to get a signed copy of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, his debut collection of poetry!
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.

Rajiv Mohabir Book Signing: Seabeast
Join Rajiv Mohabir to get a signed copy of Seabeast, his latest collection of poetry!
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.

Isabella DeSendi Book Signing: Someone Else's Hunger
Join Isabella DeSendi to get a signed copy of Someone Else's Hunger, her debut collection of poetry!
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.

Daniel Levin Book Signing: Worms, Dirt
Join Daniel Levin to grab a pre-release copy of Worms, Dirt, his debut collection of poetry forthcoming March 15th!
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.”

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Convergence: Poetry on Environmental Impacts of War
Convergence: Poetry on Environmental Impacts of War (Scarlet Tanager Books, 2026) offers a groundbreaking and vital perspective on war’s destruction of the natural world—the creatures, plants, soil, water, and atmosphere of Earth. 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: A NOVELLA AND STORIES
Named one of the top books of 2025 by Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Washington Independent Review of Books.
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.

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.”

Generic Husband presents a queer take on an old, beloved, and troublesome subject: the husband. 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.

Grant Faulkner signs something out there in the distance
Join Grant Faulkner as he signs copies of his new book something out there in the distance!
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.

Ungovernable Verse: Meet Megan Leonard
Join Megan Leonard for a signing of LARKSPUR QUEEN, a structurally and thematically ungovernable collection of poems that explores isolation and systemic betrayal, published by Broadstone Books in late 2025. This collection takes its inspiration from the lais of Marie de France, and the maximalist, hyper-narrative poems invite the reader to question--and then celebrate--what it means to thrive in a world that doesn't even want you to survive.

The Walls Are Closing In On Us
Joshua Trent Brown will be available to sign copies of his debut novel, The Walls Are Closing In On Us.
“Mournful, epic, revelatory: The Walls Are Closing in On Us tells the life of one man scaled against a world and time more richly drawn than any I've read in years. 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

Christy Prahl book signing: "With Her Hair on Fire"
Reminiscent of the City Lights Pocket Poets Series in both size and scope, the 26 prose poems in "With Her Hair on Fire" explore, then quietly explode, what we know of familiar terrains. 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.

Stefanie Kirby signs copies of her micro-chapbook Remainder.
In the opening poem of Remainder, a woman swallows a bird; in another, a woman is a mouth. Daughters are tucked into windows or birthed as singing goats. As she dwells in the aftermath of birthing, feeding, and losing, Stefanie Kirby tenderly resigns herself to a journey of endings, discovering that what lingers—the remainder—echoes with a bittersweet ache.

Joining the poetics of the queer south, Jim Whiteside furthers the conversation about identity, place, and desire in contemporary queer relationships. These elegant and precise poems document the process of reassembling broken pieces and finding one’s voice again.

Cate Lycurgus: Seacliff
Cate Lycurgus signs copies of her debut chapbook, Seacliff.
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. This testament of perseverance invites us to submit to—and to celebrate—the vast vigor of our planet. Here, alongside the Northern California coast, Seacliff offers a path, one lyric runner of shine, out to a fresh horizon.

Emily Pittinos: Animal, Roadkill, Ashes, Gone
Emily Pittinos signs her nonfiction chapbook Animal, Roadkill, Ashes, Gone
After the loss of her father, Emily Pittinos seeks solace on the road, but as she travels from Michigan to California and back again, she has to reckon with burdens everyone must bear—grief and guilt, resolution and closure, acceptance. 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.

Alejandro Lucero: Sapello Son
Alejandro Lucero signs his debut chapbook Sapello Son
Fields of alfalfa turned into tufts of fire hazard from drought. 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.

Arah Ko: Animal Logic
Arah Ko's forthcoming chapbook Animal Logic is available for sale early at the Bull City Press table. 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.

Strap Book Signing with Dan Kraines
Pleasure and divine worship comingle within Strap. Delusional, hungry, and obsessed, this is a poetics of pain that proposes joy — an ecstasy that begs for release. Strap asks: Must the abused become the abusers? How does one know if love is genuine? These poems tie knots that are deeply erotic, with lyrical ropes of ancestral wounding and mysticism. The book explores the false binaries of suffering and prayer, trauma and kink, in a quixotic perversity that smacks of survival by the revelation of secrets. Strap’s engine thrusts the reader from one page to the next by fueling a grief that feels almost beguiling to consume, or perhaps a collision of the senses so seductive as to become utterly consumed by the poems themselves.

Joshua Nguyen: American Luc Bát for My Mother
Joshua Nguyen signs his micro-chap American Luc Bát for My Mother
In American Luc Bát for My Mother, Joshua Nguyen reimagines the luc bát, a traditional Vietnamese form, to bridge past and present, east and west, tradition and innovation. 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?

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.

Book Signing with Roberto Tejada: "Carbonate of Copper"
Written during extended periods in Brownsville, McAllen, and Marfa, Texas, in "Carbonate of Copper" Roberto Tejada gives voice to unsettled stories from the past, as well as to present-day experiences of custody and displacement. 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.

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.

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.

Author signing: Wes Jamison
Join Wes Jamison for a signing of their latest collection of essays, My Corpse Inside, which exposes the thin and increasingly blurry line between the physical and the digital, between the living and the dead. 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.

Robin Becker signing Midsummer Count
Join Robin Becker as she signs copies of her new and selected book poetry Midsummer Count!
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 signing Nuclear Family
Please join Ty Bannerman as he signs copies of his new book of essays, Nuclear Family: A Memoir of the Atomic West!
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.

House of Grace, House of Blood
Intertwining a lyrical voice with historical texts, poet Denise Low brings fresh urgency to the Gnadenhutten Massacre. 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.

The Seven Thunders: Rise of the Twinkling Heir
"To Wear the Red, You Must Become the Red!" Warrior’s words, a Thunder’s words, words 12-year-old Hermium Goodspeed never imagined he’d say.
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.
The Seven Thunders, Rise of the Twinkling Heir is an upper middle-grade fantasy for readers who enjoy rollicking adventures featuring a reluctant hero like Margaret K. McElderrry’s Wilderlore: The Accidental Apprentice and exciting rite-of-passage epics like Shadow Magic meets The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

Weaving Liberation: An Archival Chapbook is a hybrid chapbook that documents one year of refusing genocide against Palestinians.

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.

Aerik Francis Book Signing: BODYPOLITIC
Join us for a meet and greet and book signing with Aerik Francis, author of BODYPOLITIC (Abode Press, 2026). 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.

Biljana D. Obradovic- Called by Distances
In Called by Distances, Biljana D. 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.

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.

Moira Egan- The Furies
In The Furies, Moira Egan offers fierce feminist reimaginings of familiar myths and narratives, from Arachne to Echo, from Medusa and Mary Magdalene to the female characters of The Odyssey, in verse that highlights the value of solidarity and collective strength among women. 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.

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.

Rose McLarney- Rubble Masonry
Rubble Masonry is a collection of lyric essays that takes its title from the practice of stone masons who, rather than using materials cut to ideal measurements, work with found rocks’ natural shapes. 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.

Driving the Beast is a book about movement. Christopher Bakken’s poems shift between Greece and the American Midwest, tracking the restless nature of selfhood, while seeking glimpses of the sacred in landscapes scarred by history and political turmoil. The book’s back-and-forth mirroring invites readers to confront their own reflections in moments of catastrophe and wonder, and to view them alongside those of immigrants and refugees.

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.

Set against the backdrop of rural Ibadan, The Years of Blood plunges readers into the depths of collective trauma where “memory forsakes the body at the point where fear fills the body like air.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Amanda Johnston Praisesong for the People Book Signing
Join us at the Host Publications booth for a signing with 61st Texas Poet Laureate and founder of Torch Literary Arts, Amanda Johnston
“We turn to poetry in our greatest moments of joy and sorrow to help us tune in to our emotions and connect with others,” writes Johnston. In Praisesong for the People, poetry brings us together to celebrate the people across the state who make this land feel like home.
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. 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.

With monstrous joy and tenderness untamed, Wayward Creatures is a collection that spills with the verdant language of excess, inviting us to step into its wild grasses. Here, the colonizer’s language has been overgrown by an ecology of strangeness and possibility—poetry disrupts, rituals, and revolts, rendering queer abolition irresistible.

Before "falling for poetry," she was a street theater performer and a photojournalist. She famously sold all her cameras once her "first poem popped out," believing that only she could "birth her poems".

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.

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.”

Bruce Bond- The Plural of Water
Bruce Bond’s new book of poetry, The Plural of Water, offers a trilogy of sequences that explore the relation of the unconscious—our denials, affinities, passions, and self-divisions—to our ability to perceive and negotiate the crises of our contemporary moment. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Book Signing with Marcella Durand: "A Winter Triangle"
Informed by mystery, chaos, order and writing as container, "A Winter Triangle" explores poetic space and form amid the infinite possibilities of composition and change. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Book Signing with Rosalind Morris: "For Lack of a Dictionary"
In this debut collection, renowned scholar Rosalind Morris spans the lyrical landscapes of personal experience and global political dilemmas. 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.

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.

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.

In the Garden
Gardens often serve as metaphors for life, representing cycles of patience, nurturing, loss, and bounty. As Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote in The Secret Garden, “If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” This sentiment captures the spirit of this anthology, which highlights how we experience gardens, both literal and symbolic.

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."
