We’re excited to announce our June subscription bundle featuring books from three wondrous small-presses: Auric Press, Radiator Press, and Winter Editions!
From Auric Press we’re thrilled to send you the UK-based poet Lotte L.S.’s Ends: ‘selected poems’ (2025), published in collaboration with the excellent British small-press, Veer2. The buoyant and disruptive poems of this book are a wonder to read. To describe this, we sample here from Stacy Szymaszek’s “Preface” to the book: ”There are poems that witness and document the ruinous toll of empire on living worlds, and there are poems that actively disrupt the systems they interrogate. Lotte L.S.’s Ends: ‘selected poems’ belongs to the latter category. This disruption requires, as a starting point, a language infused with vitality—to fight the notion that language (or poetry itself) is dead.”
From Radiator Press, based in Philadelphia, you’ll receive Gina Myers’s Works & Days (2025). Ebs Sanders wonderfully describes the directness and power of this book in their endorsement: “Gina Myers’ Works & Days is a serial poem of rare and startling lucidity, its clarity of thought an antidote to shit capitalist conditions that keep people sick and dying.”
Lastly, from Winter Editions you’ll receive A Barer Sky (2026), the first full-length collection by the nyc-based poet Serena Solin. To give you an impression of this challenging, brilliant, often maximalist work, we quote the book’s official description in full: “Drawing on sources from Dostoyevsky to Boyz n the Hood, Emerson to Olson, the Puritans to Honda Civics, Solin’s poems and essays ask what it means to write in a world of lush and violent textuality. Elision, evasion, and allusion resolve in form and familiarity, then come undone. Always on the wrong side of the tracks, Solin moves through perspectives beyond the human, from the inanimate to the entomological, the etymological to the world-historical. When tragedy strikes, the world shatters into clarity.”

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!
