Table has been purchased. The 2026 edition of this event (now in its fourth year) will likely be the largest yet. If you happen to be up in the NE corner of Ohio (or up in the NW corner of Pennsylvania) at the end of April, stop in and say hello.

Cover of Emily lee luan's return, with chinese characters in black at the bottom and a water marked dark blue with yellow text.
Text reading: 回 / Return publishing in February "...Luan’s poems, which alloy Chinese and English into feats of formal ingenuity and beauty, translate the unspeakable. Read it once, then read it again slowly to perceive the spectrum of emotions Luan unseams with dexterity..." – Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings and pulitzer finalist 2021 With the87press puzzle logo on the bottom left.
✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ Coming out in February we are publishing the UK edition of 回 / Return by Emily Lee Luan.
Originally published by Nightboat Books in the US in 2023.
