Promotional graphic for “Trigger Warnings”. The book cover can be found to the left of the graphic, which has white text and contains a surrealist and absurdist art piece depicting a scene of chaos with three people with abstract shaped bodies. To the right of the cover image, a review quote by Shereen Inayatulla in white text above a pink background reads, “This collection enlivens critical pedagogies by treating the subject of trigger warnings with the care and nuanced consideration urgently needed.” The Lever Press logo in white appears next to the quote. Above the quotation there is an enlarged section of the artwork found on the cover.

“Trigger Warnings” from Lever Press is an interdisciplinary collection which aims to deepen our understanding of trigger warnings in a social justice context. Read more about the book here: bit.ly/4qXJtNf @leverpress.bsky.social

Check out this transatlantic Q&A with DRIFT NET author @chriscampanioni.bsky.social and poet @cmakris.bsky.social! The poets reflect on each other's work, their approaches to poetry in digital dynamics, and an avant-garde sensibility shaped by migration:

Problems with Publishers Moving to AI-Based Production - Daily Nous Straive is a firm that uses AI to, among other things, help publishers with various tasks "across the publishing value chain". One of its clients is Springer Nature, the publisher of many philosophy j...

Predictably, publishers have made partnerships with AI companies to handle production. And even more predictably, it's not going well AT ALL.
