Yep—can you dm me a good email address?

Have you considered buying a LittlePuss subscription service for your enemies or lovers? Because we would love nothing more than to consistently ship them safe transsexual literature over the course of a year. We don't like to traffic in hyperbole but it's probably the best decision you'd ever make.

I’m so sorry for your loss❤️

I was just listening to that interview earlier this afternoon—totally fascinating, and made me want to buy the book for about 7 different people!

I just ordered this—NAFTA is such an interesting group of translators, and I’ve been looking forward to checking this out!

So. . .will Canadian universities change their reliance on MS Teams?

A great guide, and I think a lot of non-poets would also love these ideas, especially a small press subscription! I currently have one from World Poetry and it’s amazing!

Very sorry for your loss, Matt. My sister was 4 when my dad’s mom died—the things my sister said at the time definitely made it easier for my parents in some ways, but way, way harder in others.❤️

Anyway, I’m going to stick with the goal and we’ll see what happens next year. Hopefully it’ll work out better, but who knows!

I am a bit bummed because some of the books I tried to review were not reviewed anywhere—mostly these were books by very major poets. Obviously who cares if they’re not reviewed by me, but I think it’s pretty sad if there’s no discussion at all.

A couple of years ago I promised myself that I’d write 2 book reviews/year—I really like writing them, and it felt like a good thing to do. Well, it’s a lot easier said than done! Last year I managed to squeak in under the wire, but this year it’s not going to happen, unfortunately.

@robmclennan.bsky.social is always doing the most for all of us & everyone in poetry should be thankful every day! & should buy a few above/ground chapbooks to show it!!

I am profoundly grateful for small press publishing @essaypress.bsky.social @pamenarpress.bsky.social @omnidawn.bsky.social @solid-objects.bsky.social THANK YOU! Here is The Garden. My writing owes so much to the generous people behind these presses.

The last time I published a book, it was deep lockdown, and sending this one out into the world at the end of 2024 was also not ideal. Hopefully if I ever write a book again (in 45 years?), it will land at a calmer moment!

Yes, she’s truly wonderful and I loved working with her!!

❤️❤️

I like my title a lot too, but I cannot take any credit—Faith thought of it!

A great book, with the best title!!

Here’s Here Is a Figure! It’s about the lying-down figures that are ubiquitous in contemporary lit. It shows how they remediate apparently-opposed precedents: the dead body, the odalisque, the protester & the patient in bed. It’s about what they’re doing & what we’re asked to do in continuation.

Can’t wait to read it!!

Back cover of Rebecca Kosick's Dispatches from the Avant-Garage with blurbs: "Marvelous to see these ephemeral bookmarks, broadsides, and cards made permanent and in living color. Kosick captures the uncollectible soul of the Alternative Press: its DIY ebullience, samizdat ethos, Detroit politics, and postal poetics. Ken and Ann Kikolowski didn't just run a press; they assembled a rollicking crew of poets and artists. Kosick is the perfect chronicler of this whooping barn dance of an archive in process, which bursts well-wrought urns. Dispatches from the Avant-Garage afürms that poetry can't be standardized but it can be set loose." -Charles Bernstein, author of The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays and Comedies "This is the definitive book on Ann and Ken Mikolowski's brilliantly uncatalogable Alternative Press, the thirty-year Midwestern publishing project whose experiments in poetry postcards, broadsides, bumper stickers, and more lent American poetry new intermedial forms. Incisive, companionable, and driven by Kosick's indexical archival knowledge, Dispatches from the Avant-Garage is a print culture poetry dream. The bumper sticker for this book should read: 'Nothing is ephemeral."" -Nick Sturm, author of Publishing the New York School: Small Press Communities and American Poetry "In this impeccably researched, sumptuously illustrated book, Rebecca Kosick dives into the wreck of the archive, uncovering a fascinating secret history of post-1945 American poetry and art through one radical, inventive small press with an unlikely home base In Detroit, far from the coasts. The Alternative Press 'will outlast the auto industry,' Allen Ginsberg once proclaimed and thanks to Kosick's lively, meticulous recovery project, it just might." --Andrew Epstein, author of Beautiful Enemies: Friendship and Postwar American

Grateful beyond words to have these gorgeous, generous blurbs from Charles Bernstein, Andrew Epstein, and @nicksturm.bsky.social with me on the back cover of Dispatches from the Avant-Garage + more beautiful blurbs from John Yau and William Barillas inside (copied into comments below) 😭
