Book cover for The Beautiful Language of Our Disaster by Dale Going (Codhill Press): Poet Dale Going, an early survivor of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, reflects with lyric grace and formal innovation on the reverberating trauma and long-term effects of illness, while connecting her rare cancer experience to the broader experience of the catastrophic world we’re all living in now. https://www.codhill.com/product/the-beautiful-language-of-our-disaster-by-dale-going/
Book cover for Certain Shelter by Abbie Kiefer (June Road Press): Abbie Kiefer’s debut collection is a clear-eyed portrait of an aging mill town and a larger reflection on memory, making, and the significance of home. What sources of solace and stability remain amid the ruins of industry, after the death of a parent, while raising children in an uncertain time alongside the ghosts of the past? How do we reconcile ourselves to the inevitability of change and protect what remains? A transcendent exploration of breakdown and renewal, of vulnerability and endurance, of personal and communal responses to loss, this book takes up the question of how to find shelter and make one’s way in an altered world. https://www.juneroadpress.com/certain-shelter

Wonderful evening at Mac’s last week celebrating the debut from local poet Mary Simmons 🐦⬛ Our very own Olivia Mirmohamed opened the night with a reading from her thesis 💫
Get “Mother, Daughter, Auger” at Mac’s or online here: www.juneroadpress.com/mother-daugh...
@juneroadpress.bsky.social
It’s pub day for MOTHER, DAUGHTER, AUGUR by Mary Simmons! This book is lush and dark, full of omens and wolves and women transforming. Think of it as a Victorian naturalist’s collection gathered from folklore and myth and ballet and fables. More at juneroadpress.com/mother-daughter-augur! 🍂✨
So glad to be spending time with Level Watch by Mary Ardery, by June Road Press, a woman-owned boutique press publishing some gorgeous books.
In this chapbook, she weaves recovery and nature, threads that resonate deeply with my own writing interests, together with such clarity and depth.
Congrats, @abbiekiefer.bsky.social !
Abbie Kiefer’s CERTAIN SHELTER is one of three New Hampshire Literary Award finalists in poetry! 🤩 Winners will be announced at a ceremony on October 18. Check out the full list here: nhwritersproject.org/finalists-an...
Congratulations to our Book Award finalists!!
"Ardery’s debut is both a memoir of survival and a meditation on what it means to carry weight — literal and metaphorical — and to keep walking anyway."
