What is a “poetics of liberation”? @hostpublications.bsky.social defines it as an intersection of radical, experimental, and queer writing “breaking the rules put in place for the writer, the reader, and the art form.” Read more about the press’s work here: www.clmp.org/news/member-...

Book cover for Issues With Authority by Nadia Bulkin (Ghoulish Books): Shirley Jackson Award-Nominated author Nadia Bulkin’s sophomore collection Issues With Authority drenches the reader in a sensory overload of power, belief, and horrifying transformation. https://ghoulish.rip/product/issues-with-authority/

Book cover for The Hungering Years by Summer Farah (Host Publications): Utterly magnetic, Summer Farah’s debut poetry collection The Hungering Years is a rush of breathless song, voicing confessions so often left unsung amidst personal and collective crisis. “I am afraid of asking the right questions,” Farah admits. But through intimate conversations with fellow Arab-American writer and literary ancestor Etel Adnan, this work finds the courage to ask: What is art? An escape? A reflection? Another unhealthy attachment? Though the answers are elusive, what steps into the light is a collective of friends whose genuine care and companionship anchor these poems through their spiraling search. https://hostpublications.com/products/the-hungering-years-by-summer-farah

A brown paper mail package sits on top of a light colored wooden table. On top of the package is a postcard with Host publications symbol of a winged creature with four limbs and a long tail, ending in a triangular point. The winged creature has a sun for a head, and two eyes but no other facial features. The brown paper package is tied with a maroon colored string. Peeking out from behind the postcard is an ink print of the two back legs of the winged creature.

A book sits on top of a light colored wooden table. The book is colored in different hues of brown with the title in white across the top— local remedies: poems. Two black lizards are depicted on the left side of the book cover, and a brown breast rises from the bottom. In white the author’s name is Chiagoziem Jideofor, and underneath the words read “introduction by Kwoya Fagin Maples”
