people in MN:
the next #AbundantNumber is yours. I'd like to print ordinary observations of the time between late November and now (ongoing) as a way to preserve and communicate everyday life in these times to people elsewhere.
#AbundantNumber 5 includes a cover by Olympia Trout Patrol, and I thought that even non-subscribers might like to download it. Information:

#AbundantNumber for your new year
Stack of mail treasures and letters on a table.
Stellar mail day full of treasures. Year of letters and catching up with @jacindarussell.bsky.social , the gift of comics via @berincole.bsky.social, & #AbundantNumber from @eireannmor.bsky.social
#AbundantNumber arriving just in time, thank you USPS
I keep realizing that those envelopes with #AbundantNumber 5 and 6 in them are out there in the air—some alighting, some having already alighted—and they will be arriving with people, soon, and in their hands, soon. Weave those networks
all copies of #AbundantNumber 5 and 6 are on their way to subscribers as of today
Christmas cards have been mailed

best laid plans are often made improvisations by the whims of small-town printers but we roll with it #BothAreGood #AbundantNumber #DanceWithWhoBroughtYouo
*is happening #AbundantNumber
#AbundantNumber (for everyone)
#AbundantNumber vol 6 is also an example of what happens when a small-town printer, god love him, does not read your clear and careful instructions about printing and forces your "well, let's improvise!" hand--and i
the improvisation turns out better than your original idea
don't worry though, oh ye of frazzled Nerves. for #AbundantNumber vol. 6 is coming on the heels of vol. 5 (outside of the US: vol. 6 is tucked inside of vol. 5, a special surprise I hope) and I'm hoping it will be a secular equivalent of a very ancient, very quiet church with one lit candle
a bulletin with a black header reading ABUNDANT NUMBER. two articles partly visible have headlines reading "poetry is not a zero-sum game" and "from Local Distribution". there is an engraving of a snail on the header
coming to a mailbox near you in the next 2-4 weeks (eurozone and UK subscribers should have copies in the next ten days, US and Canada in the next three weeks, outside Europe and North America in the next four weeks). it's a volume of #AbundantNumber that can only be described as "frenetic"
if you want a subscription to #AbundantNumber 5-8 (and are not already on the list or a current subscriber) subscriptions are open until November 5. Right here:

I am doing my very best to make sure that I will have copies of #AbundantNumber vol. 5 to give out at the @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social at the end of the month
#AbundantNumber will only publish your review if the book has been in print at least a year
When a literary journal ( #AbundantNumber is not) says to get to know the magazine before you send, this is the kind of work they mean
