After months of reading, curating, editing, and wrangling files into formats they did not want to be in, I’m proud to say that Record of Dissent: Poems of Protest in an Authoritarian Age is now available in print.
You can order a copy online through IngramSpark, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, BookPeople, Alibris, or ask your local indie bookseller to order or carry it.
For accessibility and cost reasons, we also made a standard 6 x 9 edition available on Amazon. Trust me, I know. The irony isn’t lost on us. This collection is packed with anti-authoritarian, anti-Trump work, and the idea of relying on Jeff Bezos to distribute it feels a little… off-brand. But after weighing the options, we decided that making the book easier and more affordable to access was worth the compromise. Sometimes, to fight the system, one has to make temporary peace with its distribution channels.
If you’d like to pick up a copy or share it with someone who might need it, the purchase links are included below.
We set the price as low as the platforms would allow for a 100-page book—just enough to cover printing and setup costs. While we can’t control what third-party retailers choose to charge, most listings we’ve seen are somewhere around 10 to 12 dollars.
If you do decide to order a paperback copy online and enjoy it, it would be a huge help if you left a positive review on the site where you purchased it. That kind of thing really does make a difference.
Thanks for reading, and for supporting independent writing and publishing. If you’ve already been sharing the poems and helping spread the word, thank you even more. That’s how this thing grows.
Onward,

P.S. From the beginning, this project has been about accessibility. The full book is, and will remain, free to read and download as a PDF here.
