I don't have a favorite series; I'm still proud and excited to work with them all. But the Summer Kitchen Series, being a limited-edition collection, is special in its own way. Here's a not-very-good pic of this year's four titles by Trevor Moffa, Karen McPherson, Fanning, and Connie Wieneke. Trevor's chapbook is out, and the others are in final galleys.

Hi. Ron here. I want to be fully transparent about our selection process for the Allison Joseph Series, and to invite folks to help out if they can. Our first two published chapbooks in the series, by Paloma Martinez-Cruz and Asani Charles, have been well supported (thank you). Last spring, however, we received no manuscripts. It was a shock, because I fully believe in this series and feel that it absolutely represents our commitment to publishing a diverse range of poets....

So is anyone going to AWP in February who might let Seven Kitchens piggyback at a book table? Share a room? An off-site reading? The press has never been to AWP and I'd like to at least meet some of y'all. Anything else would be gravy.
