A Grain of Sand in Lambeth has a cover! Many thanks to Caroline Dickens and the folks at UN Press for the design. Official release is December 2nd, which I am happy to share with the wonderful Jami Macarty’s The Long Now Conditions Permit, whose cover I also love. Preorder links below in comments.
A black and white collaged image of a three headed, multi-armed lady with the following poem interspersed: Self-Portrait as Mythological Figure I am on the move. My mind is attached to my body at the hip. My hip is attached to my hand. I use my hand to write. I yes my yes. I have found the good light. I am looking myself in the eye. I have free use of my limbs, and look how very forward I can go.
Big beautiful news, friends: I won the Fence Modern Poets prize, and my book will be out in the winter. It’s called The Strange Wondrous Works of Eleanor Eleanor, and it contains lots of collage-poem pieces, like the one here.
I am so delighted and honored and moved I keep swooning mid-step.

Obviously happy that the bird team won.
I still can't believe this news. L'Air du Temps was reviewed in Publishers Weekly!
"Josefowicz provides plenty of rich period detail through the voice of her spunky heroine.. Fiends for 1980s nostalgia ought to seek this out."
