Small Harbor Publishing
Differential Diagnosis from the Santa Anas, Leah Claire Kaminski
The poems in Differential Diagnosis from the Santa Anas cross the permeable membrane between internal and external weather. The poems reflect, refract, and internalize the speaker’s Southern California surroundings: the strange, the dangerous, the mundane-made-hazard—all of it a “possible instrument.” Exploring mental illness experienced as an undercurrent of existential terror, these poems don’t ask or answer—they uneasily exist.
Gnashing Teeth Publishing
Surrealia, Miguel Mitchell
Surrealia is a poetic narrative about a sentient world that is a place of ease, deep philosophical inquiry, self-growth, friendship, and revolution. Its protagonist Max discovers much about himself, the greater aspects of existence, and the role that he can play in shaping a better future. This epic embraces the non-human and the unexpected.
These poems are thought-provoking, humorous, odd, experimental, incendiary, and inspiring. They play with forms that include acrostic, blank verse, cinquain, concrete, free verse, nonsense, palindrome, prose poem, villanelle, and new verse rhythms.
Each use of form fits its poetic application to enhance the imagery and storytelling.
Bottlecap Press
Holding Pattern, Alex Marsh
This chapbook is a continuation of Two in the Wave (Distance No Object). Following on from the walk notes of the city and the everyday distortions from that experience. An attempt to further capture that paranoid hanging feel in the ‘holding pattern’ and try to make sense of the submersions, keeping these little happenings and cuttings and folding them back into the poem.
My partner was diagnosed with cancer last year and a lot of the poems are trying to come to terms with the harshness of that all. The brutality of chemo and the sudden shakiness of the lives we might lose. There is a definite bitterness and anger at where we’re going, alongside the blinking bedazzlement of ‘the new’. How everything carries on regardless, how capital reinvents itself, prioritises itself as something always needing to be saved. What becomes obscured, how life in London but the city in general is constantly being layered over and how we’re never protected, so when we find shelter we have to hold it.
World Without, Courtney Bambrick
World Without asks readers to consider their relationships to the things that make our reality real. This collection suggests a series of alternative realities, each of which might test our ability to accept change. The worlds without hands, mirrors, museums, doctors, etc. presented in these short poems are strange, but also familiar. In each scenario, we consider the small and significant things that make our world familiar—and the deletions that make it unfamiliar.
Yellow Rose Effigy, cm ellis
In Yellow Rose Effigy, cm ellis’ debut chapbook, grief waltzes to the same song as seduction, sticking to the speaker’s heels. Until it picks them up and swings them dizzy. Until they flint, setting fire to all the speaker’s certainties as easily as dry flowers.
In this collection sorrow does not let the speaker go to breathe for a moment. The dance is disorienting and infuriating in turn. Is the speaker smiling or grimacing? Singing or crying?
Yellow Rose Effigy is a release and an offering of what was made in the dark and burned for light.
Fallen Angels and Other Rotten Things, Paige Cripps
Fallen Angels and Other Rotten Things is an interweaving of childhood, girlhood, womanhood and the horrors that persist throughout. Just as a butterfly must spread its wings, so too must the little girl. The collection features three respective sections, journeying through the becoming of woman and what it means to be a butterfly in a world full of mosquitoes. Escaping the shackles of conformity in the pursuit of identity, navigating through heartbreak and loss, and re-discovering love for oneself are explored in Fallen Angels and Other Rotten Things.
Not only does the collection cater to young girls and women, but to those who feel out of place in the fast-paced world we currently inhabit. Fallen Angels is for the broken and misunderstood who still hold out hope for love and happiness in such a cruel world. Within its pages there is experience inside the cocoon, flying with newfound wings, or scars where wings should be. Regardless the stage of metamorphosis, there is always room for returning to the soil we once inhabited and making ourselves a more hospitable home to grow within. Fallen Angels and Other Rotten Things encourages us to return to our wounds and rewrite the narrative surrounding them.
Bird Girl, Emma Claire Fellows
Bird Girl is a collection of poems from Emma Claire Fellows’s manuscript in progress. The chapbook treads themes of embodied and inherited ancestral memory. Fellows is an architect and preservationist of familial mythos. Fellows utilizes ornithological observations and juxtapositions throughout each poem.
Fellows is interested in the act of witnessing and testifying through the construction and faulty lens of memory. Her poems take form in prose, traditional, and experimental shape as she transverses the fickle land of time. The works of Ilya Kaminsky, Yerra Sugarman, and Rebecca Solnit have served as launching pads for inspiration at various points of Fellows’s writing process.
Pip Culture, Sophia Noulas
The prose poems herein are maps of mistakes we may face doing our best to get in our own way.
To experience Pip Culture is to bite into a fruit, only for the seeds to burst against your teeth. A bitter, unpleasant, and universal experience… only for us to keep eating? Most disappointments stem from misunderstandings learned when we are young, and growing up can warp into unlearning bad habits like entertaining hopes, having expectations, and believing stories overheard at the bar.
It is both nothing that you have been promised, yet everything you would expect.
Indigena California, Shawn McCann
Indigena California is Shawn McCann’s debut chapbook. It is a short collection of poems that journey into the minds of California’s plant life, and a few creatures that live among them, to peel back the veil and give them the words to express their inner most spirits. Each poem/narrative letter gives you their emotional depth, their individual perspective on creation itself, and their assessment of you. They show how some are just enjoying life, some are bitter about the ups and downs of sunshine, and some are our oldest defenders who would gladly give up their lives, but mostly, they are alone.
Can you imagine, for a second, being chained to the ground, unable to move, completely reliant on the earth around you, and utterly ignored? What if our greatest allies are forlorn? What if they are screaming to be noticed by their one true love, us? Through the lens of despondency mixed with a thimble of faith, Shawn McCann introduces us to the rolling hills of Northern and Central California, the coastal cliffs of the Bay Area, the mountain peaks of the Sierras, the deselect Mojave, and the local Southern gardens. Come see what our beautiful companions in this lonely world have to say.
The King’s Beavers, Britt Coffman
This collection begins with a recipe and ends with a shopping list. It’s days spent dreaming while I’m awake – seeing a moth attached to a kite when I miss the train or a badger where there is really a finance bro scowling over a flat white. I see a city in terms of nuts, berries and cracked lips.
But you’re wondering where the beavers are and why they belong to the monarchy. I guess I wanted to beg the question through these poems: is to be king to be truly alive? Or does turning a puddle shot with prism into melted rainbow butter make me a poet? Remember, these are dreams.
Please Go to the Park, Sunayna Pal
Step into a world where nature’s whispers become your guide, where every blade of grass, every petal, and every trail speaks a language of peace and reflection. Please Go to the Park is a collection of poems that explore the tranquility and beauty of nature, particularly within the confines of a park.
Sunayna Pal takes inspiration from the everyday signs we encounter in parks—with titles like “Please Don’t Walk on the Grass”, “Please Stay on the Trail” and “No Swimming”. Each poem reimagines these directives, transforming them into meditative reflections on the freedom and joy of experiencing nature.
Through vivid imagery and heartfelt verses, the poet captures the essence of nature’s gentle guidance. Whether it’s the glistening grass tickling your sole or immersing yourself in a symphony of crickets, each poem offers a moment of respite and reflection amidst the busyness of life. They invite you to lie down, breathe deeply, and release the burdens that weigh you down.
Transmissions from My Yearning Chair, Pierre Minar
Pierre Minar’s new collection of poems is about weather, God’s presence, clavicles, and how an organized fridge might save your marriage.
Can a divine presence reveal itself in a captcha prompt? Did you bring an offering of peanuts to the cemetery angel? These poems explore loneliness, memory, identity, regret, and desire in our weird world.
We don’t build Hagia Sophias, we build Alamodomes and then abandon them. But don’t despair, there’s beauty and divinity everywhere, even in the satisfying click of a Costco Pyrex lid.
Wing, Nico Demers
Demers’ collection is thematically weaved together by one of his family’s traditions, hunting. Although Demers is not much of a hunter himself, he developed an intimate relationship with nature having been raised by a father who was steeped in the practice of living off the land. Wing outlines this rugged lineage to confront generational wounds of manhood and Demers’ tumultuous relationship with his father. The poetry survives in the wilderness and feeds off the land, often encountering the haunting images of birds, the mythical beauty of deer, and what it means to hunt and become the hunted.
The wild essence of Wing celebrates one’s nuanced connection to life and death, it shines on the small magic of existence, and provides a sense of gratitude and hope for what lies in front of us and beyond the hills. In all the chaos, Wing points to one truth, that life is “a feathered, beastly impermanence.”
Centonials, Masin Persina
The poems in Centonials are made from New York Times articles published one hundred years, to the day, prior to their own composition. These poems want to time travel, taking note of what musical artists, such as Boards of Canada, accomplish, which is to find a very specific emotion from the past. As poems lack vintage synthesizers (unfortunately) these Centonials use the language of old news articles as their material.
Surreal, empathetic, wondrous, the poems in Centonials speak to our current moment’s absurdities by using the language of the past to bring to light again the names, ghosts and emotions long buried beneath the mountains of public record.
Last of the Letters, Fatima Ijaz
The chapbook Last of the Letters questions the reality of what marks an end to an ongoing conversation between two people. In a series of 16 unsent, unanswered letters it asks whether the end is really the end. If closure comes with just breaking off physical contact, then these letters are wayward, pointless. However, in a scenario where there is no emotional closure, but the physical realm has been sealed off, where do the residue conversations go? The unsaid, the undeclared, that which was held back – how do all these conversations simmer inside someone?
These letters are then a distant conversation that is still taking place in the universe somewhere. They carry the belief that perhaps there still might be a possible meeting point! They hold the sensation of losing someone midway – when all that could be said, was not said. Thus, these letters acquire an after-life and hover on the horizon as question-marks. They are rendered in poetic prose first, and then in free verse poetry to mirror the attempt to hold on to reality which nevertheless disintegrates into an undying emotional whirlpool. Last of all, these are good bye letters and intuit a release and a letting go. There comes a time when this becomes not just easy but necessary, absolute.
Smaller Versions, Katherine D. Perry
Dylan Thomas says, the “green fuse drives the flower,” and the poems in Katherine D. Perry’s Smaller Versions explore some of the experiences of adolescents, of the “green ages” of girls, growing up in the American South. The free verse, imagistic writing paints scenes of world events from the Vietnam War to the Covid-19 lock downs, revealing the struggles of everyday people trying to survive in a world structured to maintain hierarchies and the status quo. The poems sift through many of the damages and triumphs that those collisions in life leave us with. While this group of poems is not formally narrative, together they seem to offer a series of feminist voices that imagine what their lives might be like if we could love and live differently, if we didn’t require everyone to lose individuality to find love and belonging.
Like Perry’s first collection, Long Alabama Summer, the Gulf Coast becomes both a character and a backdrop for coming-of-age portraits, asking readers to rethink the idea that childhood is an age of innocence. Smaller Versions considers the smaller things in life against mammoth backdrops: daffodils in winter, cigarettes at sunrise, or steamed shrimp after a hurricane. How, the writer seems to ask us, do small creatures matter when we consider the size of the universe? What beauty follows from catastrophe?
From Valentine, Jason Gabbert
From Valentine is a series of epistolary poems-as-collage exploring the narrative of a being concurrently existing as human and celestial body communicating to a narcissistic mother, Pluto, and a bottle. From Valentine navigates topics ranging from parent-child relationships, transparency, light, color, longing, identity, fear, escape, the traps of answering questions that sometimes carry no answers, and existing in space.
This work came to being as a project of discovery wherein a few poems given the same title (“From Valentine”) juxtaposed themselves and posed several questions (who is Valentine? What is Valentine? Who is Valentine speaking to?) begging to be revealed further through the act of writing. Though no perfect answer is given, an experience is exposed for each reader to explore and relate to individually.
Finishing Line Press
Not, Grove Koger
In his first collection, Grove Koger surveys the bright, baffling surface of the world—what he likes to refer to as the view out his study window—in words as sharp as they are simple.

The Lord Balfour Hotel, Suzanne Jones Weisberg
In her debut poetry chapbook, The Lord Balfour Hotel, Suzanne Jones Weisberg takes us on a grand journey of lost innocence and reclaimed glamour. Growing up as a small child in the iconic Art Deco hotel on South Miami Beach that her father and uncle owned in the 1940s and 50s, where New York City mobsters and Batista’s second favorite mistress checked in and out, the author recalls hurricanes, terrazzo patios, and bronze elevator doors, and ponders the meaning of her life.
By Fowlers Fork, Chuck Stringer
By Fowlers Fork, Chuck Stringer’s first poetry collection, chronicles his daily walks by a suburban creek near his home in Northern Kentucky. Beginning in the early days of the pandemic, these poems document one man’s efforts to enter, experience, and name the abundance of flora and fauna, habitat and history found in and along the creek’s flowing. From its Ordovician fossil past, through its Fort Ancient artifacts and presences, to the spray paint graffiti of some local teens, By Fowlers Fork employs a variety of poetic forms as it takes the reader on an intimate journey into one creek’s sacred space and time, and its unexpected wildness.
Natural Wonders, Sarah Sutro
These poems are guides to seeing up close, they move throughout a year, tempered by the fundamentals of sun, rain, snow, darkness as the basis of human survival, and the re-creation of beauty thanks to a poet’s eye. Balancing inner feeling with outer circumstance, the poet brings awareness to natural processes, that define her engagement with the world. The poems point out split second changes, interactions within the environment, and capture the upfront miniscule moment and the constancy of rhythms, arcs and gifts from nature. A kind of rallying to care for earth’s house and our ultimate survival, they stress the necessity to repeat these daily excursions and the urgency to keep on cultivating, walking, praising, looking ahead – ultimately conversing with the earth every day to protect and appreciate her.
My Limbs a Cradle, my Whisper a Song, Cathy Gilbert
My Limbs a Cradle, my Whisper a Song explores motherhood and loss through poems that reveal the bittersweet truths of raising infants and the devastation of losing a parent to dementia. Whether contemplating the stars, stirring a pot of soup at the stove, watching a child learn to press their feet to the floor and rise, or stumbling over a mother’s inability to recognize her own daughter, these poems try and try again to focus on small moments in order to stay grounded through a time of great upheaval. Parent/child relationships reverse and transform as the poet learns how to mother through the slow loss of her own mother and her memories.
Tree Surgeon, Alecia Beymer
Tree Surgeon is a series of captured fragments that conjure and question notions of closeness, distance, home, loss, and grief. It is a rumination on how the mundane envelopes us, how place remakes in us daily. The poems linger in an interstices of the environmental world, the global pandemic, the death of a father from Covid-19, and the leaving and returning to the remnants of a steel town along the Ohio River. The book begins in the impossibility of sound and language and the layered grief of loss. It continues through offered intimations and excavations on how we interpret, and learn to believe in, the complexities of intimacy and attachment to place, people, and ourselves.
City in a Seashell, Tiffany Osedra Miller
City in a Seashell features a selection of Caribbean-American Carnival poems, literary sketches, fables, elegies and vignettes evoking personal expressions, memories and ancestors of Antigua, Jamaica and the mystical island of Gabinda. These poems come from an urban-tropical soul, a grieving American daughter of Caribbean parents who have gone on to that magnificent Carnival in the sky, leaving her an immigrant to every island she can find replicated in her city streets.
the under story, Broderick Eaton
Oregon poet and author Broderick Eaton is the recipient of the Sixfold Poetry Prize, the Orison Books Anthology Prize in Non-Fiction, the Scribes Valley Fiction Prize, The Source/OSU Cascades MFA poetry prize, and a Book Fest Award. She holds degrees from Sweet Briar College and Lindenwood University and lives in the high desert of Oregon with her family.
Like Silencing the Wind, Pearl Karrer
Like Silencing the Wind threads themes of conflict and war through poems that affirm our shared humanity. They cross barriers of time and continents, beginning with Rodin’s nude bronze of a helmet maker’s wife. Along the way a photograph evokes a French battle-field; a Gaustaus room, a German one. In Plivička, cascading lakes witness a policeman’s murder. War damaged houses lament their lost families. An Armenian girl in a Copper Age cave, a California vet with one leg, a bomb injured Boston Marathoner, Yucatan natives dreaming in thatch palapas, a Taureg nomad, all come to life on the pages. Ending in Afghanistan, a murdered woman’s voice for freedom carries on the wind.
Stronger Than Salmon, Carol Shamon
Stronger Than Salmon is an unflinching collection of poetry that explores life’s strongest tugs and pulls – family, aging, love, loss, and self-discovery. Shamon’s honesty in examining and facing life’s currents invites the reader to join her journey for truth. A journey that eventually leads to wonder and belonging.
Carol Shamon has been writing poetry since the age of nine. This collection stands out in its simplicity of chosen words to convey big emotions related to topics such as death, divorce, mental illness, and life itself.
agriculture of grief: prayers for my father’s dementia, Mejdulene Bernard Shomali
agriculture of grief: prayers for my father’s dementia narrates the gradual death of a beloved parent from dementia over the course of several years. The poems reimagine Catholic prayer traditions to explore grief and mourning. They consider loss in relationship to Palestinian land, language, and diaspora.
Mejdulene Bernard Shomali is a queer Palestinian poet and associate professor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Williams College. Her first book Between Banat: Queer Arab Critique and Transnational Arab Archives is available from Duke University Press.
Ouroboros, Lissa Batista
“OUROBOROS” is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of poetry and prose, inviting readers on a personal journey through the labyrinth of love, loss, and resilience. From mystical encounters where family ties tango with the supernatural, to candid confessions that blend tears and laughter like licorice-induced memories, each piece intertwines cultural heritage with personal reflection. A playful nod to life’s absurdities and a tender embrace of its complexities, this collection is a celebration to the beauty and chaos of the human experience, leaving an indelible mark on the soul of every reader.
What Hummingbirds Do, Louise Cary Barden
WHAT HUMMMINGBIRDS DO celebrates the natural world while sharing the small, significant moments of joy, love, and loss that make up a life. In these poems we climb a white pine with a nine-year-old girl and shoot spring rapids in a canoe with a young couple. We see the white birches of the narrator’s childhood home and the flaming wings of monarch butterflies in migration; we hear the wild calls of loons as they echo across a wilderness lake. And throughout this collection, we consider universal questions and choices we must make in marriage, environment, politics, and relationships in our search for fulfillment.
Matches Strike Boxes, Jane Spencer
After working in the fine arts for decades, Jane switched to poetry. She loves expressing visual images in words, pulling meaning from the natural world, and contemplating our place within it. The pandemic turned her focus on how we think about death, vaccination led her to the afterlife.
Jane says poems allow her to connect unrelated experiences. A wonderful process of surprise and discovery for the soul.
Washed and Dried, Nancy Swanson
The narrator of Washed and Dried speaks from a foggy road, a lighthouse, the flowerbed in front of her ghostly home, a midstream rock, the desert, a childhood steeped in the south. The result is a series of recollections on family, change, and loss. Readers will recognize the hero and main character, who emerges in real, imaged, and perilous states: hurricane, pools, rising seas, creeks and rivers, canals, mist, mud puddles, flakes of snow.
Mothers and Other People, Karen Taylor
Mothers and Other People is a poignant collection delving into themes of death, loss, estrangement, nostalgia, and family. From the ache of unspoken words to the weight of unresolved conflicts, the poems in this collection delve into the emotional terrain of estrangement with raw honesty and vulnerability. Mothers and Other People invites readers on a journey of introspection and reflection, encouraging them to confront their own experiences of loss, estrangement, identity, and the complexities of family relationships.
Sonder, Issa M. Lewis
Issa M. Lewis is the author of Infinite Collisions (Finishing Line Press, 2017) and Anchor (Kelsay Books, 2022).

Douglas, Me & James, Vin Whitman
What does one do when the algorithm’s listening ear becomes an enemy’s watchful eye? Douglas, Me & James explores the modern quandary of being bullied online. How long can you just ignore it? When it crosses the line between keyboard and camera, where do you turn for accountability?
Vin Whitman is a former funeral director and radio host from Sarasota, FL, now a writer living in Jasper, IN. His poetry and fiction has been featured in dozens of small indie presses. His chapbook ‘True Stories of the Odd Equinox’ [Alien Buddha Press] is available on Amazon.
A Litany of SHE Poems, Davida Kilgore
A Litany of SHE Poems weaves together themes of disability, race, and gender of both humans and imaginary creatures with threads of sensuality and sexuality, Christianity and spirituality, deeply-felt love and equally felt lust. Like Sheila and SHE, the characters in these story/poems challenge not only societal norms and expectations but also navigate the complexities of living at the crossroads of multiple marginalizations. Whether exploring love here on earth or there on Mars, illustrating love between Black Mary and her husband G-Man, examining the self-love of their children Sustah or Brutah, or caring about the creature Igboo, each poem invites the reader to explore the transformative journeys that celebrate differences, advocate for equality, and amplify silenced voices. A Litany of SHE Poems is a tapestry of love songs whose melodies reach the highest octaves of the struggles and triumphs of a diverse slice of humanity.
An Orchid’s Guide to Life, Kathryn Jones
Orchids, the world’s largest and most diverse family of flowering plants, grow in deserts, in tropical forests, and on mountaintops. They cling to whatever they can – rocks, trees, crevices – and draw sustenance from air and water, letting their roots dangle. As the daughter of an orchid curator, Kathryn Jones closely observed these fascinating plants and found guidance for her own life, navigating grief and loss, adapting to change, and seeking solace in the natural world. An Orchid’s Guide to Life is a rich tapestry of poems that, like the flower spike of a Phalaenopsis orchid, reaches for light and with resilience and desire, blooms.
