PUBLISHING NEW WOMEN POETS SINCE 1997

Thanks to the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) for featuring Lynne Thompson's Beg No Pardon in their reading list for Black History Month in the company of so many other poetic treasures from independent literary publishers. Check out the full list here.
 

Jacqueline Balderrama's book Now in Color received a beautiful review by Erica Goss in the latest Sticks & Stones. Here's an excerpt: "Now in Color navigates the terrain of story and language to find the connections that define us. Truth is never simple; family history defies easy explanations. As Balderrama writes in the title poem, 'we learn to listen in different ways.'" Read the full review in Sticks & Stones.
