AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!

Frank Stanford’s The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You is a truly original Southern epic with immense cultural and creative range. Revered by a devoted cult following since it was first published posthumously in 1978, the poem unfolds over more than fifteen thousand lines without stanza breaks or punctuation, creating an unstoppable linguistic flow that mirrors the chaos and beauty it depicts. In this third edition, meticulously edited by James McWilliams and A. P. Walton, Stanford’s sprawling vision is revived not as a lost relic but as a towering work fiercely alive in its ethical and aesthetic extremes.

Available for pre-order! Rogue Astronaut by Mitchell Jacobs, a finalist for the 2026 Miller Williams Poetry Prize, selected by Patricia Smith.

“In Mitchell Jacobs’s stunning debut, Rogue Astronaut, we’re invited to ask what the future holds for us in this age of ‘the earth’s vendetta / against flesh, which it punishes / and punishes then decomposes.’ These poems are meditations on the nature of the body as we struggle with our corporeal pleasures and failures even while imagining some future deliverance of a newly forged incorporeal self. These remarkable poems of human reckoning with fear and desire stand at the intersection of David Bowie’s Space Oddity and Frank Bidart’s The Book of the Body. The raw inner spaces of Jacobs’s poems are by turns both luminous and ominous, yet his vision is deeply intimate, and the universe he travels remains irreducibly human.” –David St. John

Domestica, winner of the 2026 Miller Williams Poetry Prize, is now available for pre-order.

“Samuel Piccone’s debut collection, Domestica,” writes poet Leila Chatti, “is a field study of the quiet, (extra)ordinary labors that hold a family together. With a voice at once tender and devastatingly funny, Domestica lays bare the grit that is commitment beyond the dress and party: the urgent loneliness of marriage, the metamorphic bewilderment of fatherhood, the ferocious mundanity of love, love that exhausts and endures, love that is all. These poems illuminate the private realm as it is, as it really is, with radiant honesty—to read them is like looking into a house at night with its windows lit up.”

“Through 13 essays organised in four sections, this book explores pivotal moments in Latin American history in which foodways played a key role in forging the continent’s identity politics. … This book is fascinating to read. Given the limited scholarship connecting food and literature in the region, it is an excellent contribution to the field and the first to provide, in English, an overview of Latin American literary food studies.”
—Andrea Cadelo, Bulletin of Latin American Research, September 2025
