We’re so pleased to announce our July subscription bundle featuring books from three exciting small-presses: Bench Editions, Further Other Book Works, and Noemi Press !
From Bench Editions, a young press (started in 2024) based in Cincinnati, we’ll be sending you Kylan Rice’s moving new book, Name and Earth (2026). To quote Cass Donish’s praise for the book: “Intellectually lush, channeling chicory and Keats, Kylan Rice’s poetic voice pries open a mirror; we step through it into an inverted world that belongs to this unique mind, this distinctively ardent language.”
You’ll also receive Candace Hill Montgomery & David Grundy’s just-released and arresting collaboration of art and poetry, Abstractive, from the exceptional small press, Further Other Book Works. This book draws its title and spirit from the great Cleveland artist, musician, and poet Russell Atkins. Here is Craig Dworkin’s descriptive praise: “For Russell Atkins, the ‘psychovisualist’ composes structured relationships that can be viscerally felt by the mind’s eye. In Abstractive, readers learn to lean on the way those structures snare hidden connections: between visual and language arts, music and emotion, and everyone out there searching for the ancient heavenly connection. We are on the cusp.”
Lastly, from Noemi Press, we’ll be sending you the brilliant, experimental poetry memoir, Are You Borg Now? (2nd Edition, 2025) from the Minneapolis Somali poet and photographer Said Shaiye. This snippet from Douglas Kearney’s “Introduction” (reproduced on the back cover) offers a glimpse into the book’s vibe: “Are You Borg Now? is a memoir that freely, defiantly refuses memory. It blocks invasive trauma, turns away from it. And then, more often than not, Said will cipher with himself, rhyming to fill the whitespace with black. After all, “barring out” means to rap and to refuse entry … A poetics of refusal.”

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!
