It pleases us greatly to announce our special February bundle featuring not three but four books from four exceptional small chapbook presses, all of them publishing from our neck of the woods, the upper Midwest. This February you’ll receive finely-printed books from Doublecross Press, The Economy Press, Oxeye Press, and The Year.
From Doublecross Press, a small chapbook press which prints out of Minneapolis-Saint Paul and specializes in beautifully printed and bound chapbooks often with a dos-à-dos binding, you’ll receive Kendra Sullivan’s Zero Point Dream Poems (2023). The book comprises a series of poems which read like, to quote Laura Henriksen’s praise,“waves that interrupt each other heard later in a seashell phone in a dream.”
From The Economy Press, a small press out of Chicago publishing “booklets of poetry, prose, and hybrid work,” we’ll be sending you The Silver Age (2025) by the amazing Fanny Howe. A long poem first published in The Economy Magazine in 2013, it was republished as a booklet on the occasion of Howe's passing this last summer.
You’ll also receive Ryan Skrabalak’s forthcoming Assembled Climate from Oxeye Press, printing beautiful books out of Madison, Wisconsin. The chapbook is a long poem “celebrating and exploring the encounter born from an elision of the Robert Bly collection The Morning Glory.”
Fourthly, from The Year, a wondrous small press out of Chicago publishing 2 chapbooks a season, you’ll receive máquina de escribir (2025) by Gerónimo Sarmiento Cruz with enchanting drawings by Alicia Barceinas Cruz.

Our incentive for starting this program was to offer assistance to publishers affected by Small Press Distribution's abrupt closure in spring 2024. Now in 2026, with the sudden termination of NEA awards for literary presses and magazines, the crisis for small poetry publishers in the US has increased manifold, as has our motivation to continue providing this service. You can learn more about these twin crises and get updates on how to help small presses from CLMP (Community of Literary Magazines and Presses). Thank you for helping us support the small-press ecosystem from which new voices in American poetry most frequently emerge!
