HAPPY PUB DAY to WALKING WHEEL by Molly Fisk.

To read more and grab your own copy, heck out WALKING WHEEL here: indiepubs.com/products/wal...

Two copies of my new book Walking Wheel, resting against a napkin holder (that you cannot see) on a brown wooden table with half a blue cup containing half a latte in the lower left foreground. The book has a gold William Morris print as a background to the title in white letters, plus my name, plus Novel-in-Verse at the top in dark brown letters. Between the title and my name, there is a graphic of two old-fashioned-looking men carrying what seem to be 3 overlarge strawberries on a pole between them, surrounded by leaves and foliage.

If you ever need someone to photograph your new book and make sure it matches whatever you're drinking, DO let me know, darlings... @redhenpress.bsky.social has produced this lovely hardcover version of Walking Wheel.

Here’s my prose poem “THE CITY IS DEAD WITHOUT YOUR PIROUETTE OF A SMILE” from my book “Portrait of an Artist as a Brown Man.” @redhenpress.bsky.social
