On sale now! After 5 years as a press we are publishing a collection by our fearless leader, Kim Jacobs-Beck. Luminaries examines the lives of the women astronomers, known as "computers," who worked in the Harvard Observatory from about 1880-1930. These women made significant discoveries about the universe, yet struggled for fair pay and, at times, recognition for their work, and with restrictive expectations of women’s roles. Cover art by Jonathon Scharf, derived from an 1840s etching available from Harvard University. https://milkandcakepress.com/product/luminaries-by-kim-jacobs-beck/

Here is the opening poem from Inside Skin by Leah Claire Kaminski. Our newest release on sale now!

28/03/2024

Our newest chap, Inside Skin's poems are about pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, but through a different perspective. They are intensely, uncomfortably physical, as the narrator worries and shares the discomforts of impending motherhood in straightforward, unsentimental language. Leah Claire Kaminski
