May Update
For the past year or so, we’ve been struggling through production issues . . . mostly when we use cover stock from [insert large craft/paper store]. The printers we were using just ATE it. Recently, we’ve started using new printers that seem to like that cover stock more (early indications). Huge relief. Also slowing us down is a sharp increase in work from my professional life. The impact of these combined forces has been overall less books and longer deadlines.
However, we’re coming out of it. Probably not the banner year we had in 2011, but we’re pushing forward.
Later this week, you can get a copy of Mike Sikkema’s Wander-Rooms and Outside Noise. The next book (late May/early June) will be Failure to Apply the Method by Nicholas Liu. After that, it’s j/j hastain. Even further down the road (shooting for a formal launch in August) is a collaborative effort focusing on a classic American pop-culture/matricide story from last year.
In the fall, we’re going to assemble a fourth issue of Momoware and then have an open reading period (September or October).
Thanks, everyone, for following along and keeping up and . . . patience.

New Book . . . for Garden-Abuse Awareness
Not really. Our newest release, Matthew Lippman’s Don’t Harass the Garden, is about more than plants (like those pictured also, and also on the cover).
It’s about life. It’s about choices we make. And it’s also about Nina Simone, baseball, Matt Damon, and how to save the world. Get your copy now!

I’m FINALLY getting around to updating the website. Yes, things have been slow-going here at the press, but they are GOING.
This time last year, I think we’d published four chapbooks from the winners/finalists from our (previous) summer’s contest, so… cont.

Did you miss us?
I am writing this bound and determined to get an update in by midnight. I think I’ll make it as I’m only on my first beer and the saddle-stapler isn’t here to distract me.
We took a little more time off than we’d planned, but we’re well… cont.

Hey, everyone. We’ve been having a little “quiet time” here at the press. A little TOO quiet, as we’d been part-way through producing our latest book, Cinquain, My Dear Cinquain by Evie Ivy. As the title suggests, it’s all cinquains, all the… cont.
