Stuart Ross (the Canadian one)

I'd like to see you two trade hair.

Four Poems Founded in 2012 by Dallas Hudgens, Relegation Books works to connect readers and writers on a smaller, more intimate scale, understanding that success isn't always measured by sales numbers.

Thrilled to have four new poems up on R&R, a really beautiful online literary journal!

An excerpt from Hugh Thomas's poem "Razovsky at peace," imposed on a detail from the cover of @razovsky.bsky.social's collection 𝑹𝒂𝒛𝒐𝒗𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝒂𝒕 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆 (2001).

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!
