Poetry cover reveal + new reviews

Around here, the sun is shining more these days and the dogwoods (Bradford pears?) are blooming. We’ve got some exciting book updates to share this week—starting with a cover reveal!

Cover Reveal: New poetry by William Woolfitt

If you don’t know Will’s poetry, you should, and now you have a chance to get first dibs on his latest collection, The Night the Rain Had Nowhere to Go: coming in June.

This collection is a remarkable blend of cultural artifacts, sacramental moments, and intimate scenes of people resilient to the elements. If you’re interested in poetry about climate change, Appalachia, and hope amidst disaster, you’ll want to spend time with this book. Pre-orders are open! (Or you can get a poetry subscription here)
