Nov 14, 2025
Welcome, Editors, Reviewers, Producers — we’re excited to share snapshots of the books we’re working on in the 1st half of 2026. These books imagine and reimagine worlds through creation, consumption, and celebration. They are unabashedly innovative, brave, and authentic unto themselves.
Check back for updates as more details become available, and please reach out if you’d like ARCs or more info!
The Strange Wondrous Works of Eleanor Eleanor: A catalog by Kathryn Cowles (Poems, Fence Books - Jan 20) Press Sheet
Because her art was so often experiential, conceptual, fleeting, fragile, or intentionally self-destroying, much of what we have left of Eleanor Eleanor is this residual after-writing, a kind of fossil record.
In the Middle of a Better World by Grant Chemidlin (Poems, Central Avenue Publishing - Feb 3) Press Sheet
A collection both formally inventive and infused with a bright, shimmering imagination. Part elegy, part battle cry, unabashedly joyous in its exploration of desire, human connection, and community—those we’re born into and those we build ourselves.
The Tavern at the End of History by Morris Collins (Fiction, Dzanc Books - Feb 10) Press Sheet
Over a span of five days in 2017, two strangers find themselves in a sea-rocked sanitarium on the coast of Maine, where, as they gather at an auction for a piece of art stolen in the Second World War, they must reckon with the wounds of inheritance: shame, displacement, and the longing of exiles.
Other Paths for Shahrazad edited by Jennifer Jean (Poems, Tupelo Press - Feb 19) Press Sheet
A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Poetry by Arab Women. Much like the women in this volume, Shahrazad told stories to mesmerize, to keep sane, and to survive. Other Paths for Shahrazad is a potent, dialogic journey with women who dare to call out to the world with the stories of their lives.
The Night Is What It Eats by Danielle J. Hanson (Poems, Codhill Press - April 7, 2026) Press Sheet
A surreal and saintly poetry collection of interlacing themes and forms. Hanson dismantles and reassembles the world through odes, elegies, and vicarious complaints. Parts of the whole are set free, like St Lucia’s eyes, to see the world on their own.
The Great Houses of Pill Hill by Diane Josefowicz (Fiction, SoHo Press - May 5) Press Sheet
Hannah Cooke is a New England interior decorator who makes miniature reproductions of crime scenes. But small tales grow lifesized in this locked-room mystery with themes of possession, consumption, and gentrification.
Starting from Paterson by Garret Keizer (Essays, EastOver Press - June 16) Press Sheet
Seasoned and beloved master of the essay Garret Keizer’s most personal collection is “propelled by a vigorous and intimate engagement with the surrounding world.”
