Ken Been – Opposing Thumbs – $11.00

“In Opposing Thumbs, we ride shotgun with Ken Been as he hitchhikes from Michigan west-southwest to California, up to Canada and back home. This poetry collection transports readers to the early 1970s, when the poet, then a young adult, explored the human landscape.” – -Erin Michaela Sweeny Inlandia Journal

Susan Eyre Coppock – Bright Clatter – $11.00

“Not every trip down memory lane is a sweet one. The short, carefully crafted poems in Susan Coppock’s Bright Clatter will evoke emotion and spark memory as she takes us through the fifties and sixties with references to Mr. Blue and Peter Pan collars, Horn & Hardart and anti-war demonstrations.” -Anna Scotti, author of Bewildered by All This Broken Sky

Emma Goldman-Sherman – Dear Palestine – $11.00

“These stunning, stark, and unflinching poems are a gesture—a hand extended, a promise kept—but above all, a testimony. Reaching across continents and generations, they offer softness and solidarity, allowing readers to witness firsthand the steadfastness and strength of the Palestinian people. “Kelly Grace Thomas, author of Boat Burned (YesYes Books)

Jack Israel – Luminaria of Disbelief – $11.00

“Upon encountering Jack Israel’s poetry, one is quickly possessed by a truly original talent. Whether through a unique content, voice, or style, his interpretations of the world are simultaneously surreal and quotidian, often unexpected, always new. Israel’s poems are of a rigorous intelligence, an astute wit, and finally, thoughtful, discrete musings on these times.”    –Alicia Askenase is the author of several books, a founding co-editor of 6ix

Valerie Lawson – Work Makes Its Mark – $11.00

“Here is poet who loves by noticing and naming the “powerless people / whose real names were only known only to the stars” and who understands—with the physical, hard-won knowledge of a rural poet—that to love a place is to mark and be marked by it…..”  – Julia Bouwsma, Maine Poet Laureate  (2021-2026)
