We’re thrilled to announce our unusual March bundle featuring four books and one album from one press, The 3rd Thing!
You’ll receive each of the four books of Dao Strom’s exceptional Yellow Songs (2025) as well as a digital link to the accompanying album, Tender Revolutions. Jointly released by The 3rd Thing Press, Antiquated Future Records, and Beacon Sound, Tender Revolutions / Yellow Songs is “a hybrid project comprised of writings, music, and visual ephemera.” Varying in tone and form “each of the four Yellow Songs books and the Tender Revolutions album reckon with the intimate consequences of the colonial project, reconfiguring them into complex and lucid, literal and figurative songs of selfhood.” As Gabrielle Civil writes in her praise of the project, “This work is fierce, vulnerable, candid, and surprising. Read, regard, listen, and marvel!”

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!
