✨COVER REVEAL✨

Introducing our first 2025 poetry release: THE SINGING RIVER is Mississippi/Louisiana poet Benjamin Morris' debut full-length collection, coming your way near the peak of Mardi Gras in February. Featuring cover art by Walter Anderson.

Drifting along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, The Singing River asks what can be saved in a place of shifting landscapes and ancient memory. Benjamin Morris’ debut collection meditates on the forces of nature that shape our notions of family and identity. Formally diverse and elegantly crafted, these poems bear witness to a region where the soil often finds blood and water mixed, tinged with hope that some of us may still emerge cleansed after going under.

✨COVER REVEAL✨
Introducing our last 2024 release & the next book in our new Lookouts Series: AMBIGUITY AND BELONGING: ESSAYS ON PLACE, EDUCATION, AND POETRY by Benjamin P. Myers. Coming 12.10.24! Cover design by Corey Lee Fuller.

In a new compilation of essays, Benjamin P. Myers articulates a well-rounded vision of a rooted life. Gathering critical observations about localism, liberal arts education, and contemporary poetics, Ambiguity and Belonging lays out the work necessary to live intentionally in one’s home, career, and vocation. With a unique perspective as a former state poet laureate, Myers intertwines personal reflections with close readings, poetry reviews, and cultural analysis, making these essays accessible to writers and educators interested in creating their own expressions of authentic community. Ideal for readers of Wendell Berry, Ambiguity and Belonging offers a stable way forward in an often-precarious time.

It's pub day for our latest chapbook! There's still time to help us support the author's community in Asheville by ordering your copy; we're donating $4 from each sale to the local food bank through the month of October.

Vivid and intimate, The First Day is both a confession and an excavation. Beth Gordon’s hybrid chapbook pieces together one-way conversations that enter a complex world of relationships spanning several decades yet remaining tethered to revelations in ordinary places. Part prose poem, part experimental memoir, Gordon taps into a universal sense of vulnerability in love and grief, ever struck by the truth that no matter what happens, “the present day keeps moving. Who can keep up?”

Just got our copy of the latest and so pleased with this review of ’s stellar OKC novel, IN THE MORNING, THE CITY IS THE PRAIRIE!

“Roensch subverts the expected coming-of-age narrative and keeps the story rooted in place….Stylistically minimal, but not without deep moments of intimacy and reflection…Roensch captures what ‘small-town-but-big-city’ stories can be like.”
