Because it is within language that war starts, because it is within language that the other materializes, the role of the writer is to keep as close an eye on the alphabet as possible, and report back with rigor because our humanity depends on it.-Kelly Puig

Paradoxx is out tomorrow!
www.essaypress.org/colby/
excited to have a review forthcoming in mid-October of Kate Colby’s utterly excellent new book Paradoxx! @essaypress.bsky.social
Coming next week!
A one-hundred-day chronicle of a dark period in her life, Kate Colby’s tightly-wound lyric essay is also a poet’s memoir of growing up in the late 20th century and stumbling into the 21st.
The Garden is out on September 30th! Copublished with @pamenarpress.bsky.social
Refusing to stabilize the first-person and rejecting linear progression, The Garden embraces the vulnerable porousness of selves in the overflow of history that is the violence and rapture of the ongoing “now.”
The Garden is coming out on September 30th! Preorder a copy here: www.essaypress.org/carr-2/
The Book of Embers, winner of the Essay Press book prize, is coming so soon! Preorder by September 22nd
