Benjamin S. Grossberg's "When You Read A Novel The Dead Would Like" is available now through our shop!
..Grossberg wrestles with the growing awareness that, though one bugbear may press less close, death still waits, patient and inevitable. A series of elegies for the poet’s mother, who returns as a wry, irreverent ghost “swirling / ice cubes in a tumbler of vodka,” lies at the heart of this ranging, cinematic collection.

An EXODUS teaser trailer by Julia Robbins!

At once deeply personal and sharply observant, Exodus asks what becomes of those who leave home carrying entire countries inside them, and whether belonging is ever truly recoverable once exile begins.

COMING MAY 2027

The poems in 'Rung by Rung' delve into the labor and ecology of Western Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, centering both built and wild environments. Whether toiling under a broken-down car or soaring into the imaginary, this collection is a rare blend of lyrical and conversational, formal and free, funny and serious, high and low, decay and growth. Rung by Rung takes its readers foraging and fishing into abandoned malls and run-down hockey rinks, and interrogates masculinity and family drama from a working-class perspective with delicacy and precision. This powerful debut announces Mike Good as a compelling new voice in American poetry.

COMING APRIL 2027

In 'Requiem in Wide-Open Minor,' Justin Hunt grapples with the death of his adult son and the loss of his Kansas childhood—a rural way of life that vanished long ago but pulses yet in the deepest part of him. These are poems of remembrance and longing, of prairies and grain elevators and souls departed, of dreams about a son now gone, of marriage and a wife who shares in the poet’s discovery of everyday beauty even as they face their own mortality. Here, then, an elegy for a beloved son, a hymn to the Southern Plains and its people, a testament to resilience.

COMING MARCH 2027

'Exodus' is a searching, intimate essay collection about memory, migration, grief, and the fragile idea of home. Moving between Abeokuta, Kansas, and St. Louis, Tolú Daniel maps the emotional terrain of a generation shaped by political unrest, displacement, and longing. These essays revisit childhood fables, family tragedies, nationalist dreams, the aftermath of the ENDSARS protests, and the disorientations of diasporic life with lyrical precision and emotional candor. At once deeply personal and sharply observant, Exodus asks what becomes of those who leave home carrying entire countries inside them, and whether belonging is ever truly recoverable once exile begins.

COMING FEBRUARY 2027

'Everyday Kintsugi' by Alison Lake explores what it means to be broken and piece life together again in a way that shines with strength and beauty. While detailing the struggles of dealing with mental health, infertility, miscarriages, and motherhood, the poems in this debut collection provide a glimpse into the interior world of one who has suffered a great loss, and offer quiet ways of connecting to the strength and healing of nature. With a tender heart, unflinching gaze, and precise language, this book of poems examines the beauty and pain in life and provides a companion for anyone with compassion for the plight of others.

From colorism to the uneasy desire of in*******al love, each poem strips away performance to expose raw truth. Rooted in the personal yet bound to the political, Butler’s lyricism and intellect pulse through a collection that grieves and praises, confesses and conjures—a luminous reckoning with what it means to live, and love, inside a haunted body.

Coming November 3rd, pre-order through our bio!
