Excited for the stunning fall 2025 entry in my Feed Dog Book imprint from Anvil Press! Vera Hadzic's full-length poetry debut, Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery, is compelling, visceral, often dark, and always magical! @anvilpress.bsky.social @hadzicvera.bsky.social

Beautiful new book by Ron Padgett! Exciting to see him in the NYRB series. I devoured the book minutes after I picked it up at the local indie on Saturday, wrote a poem about the experience of reading it, sent the poem to Ron, and he said it was "lovely." A great exchange with a great American!
