Hello friends. If you’ve been following the project over the past few weeks, you’ve already seen many of the poems as they’ve gone up on the site. We’re happy to announce that the paperback edition is now available for those who wish to purchase a physical copy.

This one came together slowly and deliberately. A lot of reading, a lot of back-and-forth, and a lot of decisions about sequencing, spacing, and what it means to let poems sit next to one another on the page. We’re really happy with where it landed.

Paperback copies can be ordered through major retailers (Barnes and Noble, Book People, Bookshop, etc) and independent bookstores. If you prefer supporting local shops as we do, most indie bookstores should be able to order it for you without any trouble. And we would love it if you asked your local indie bookstore to stock on their shelves.

As always, the book remains free to read and download online. The print version is there for anyone who wants a physical copy, wants to share it, or just prefers paper over screens.

Thanks, as always, for reading, sharing poems, and supporting small, independent projects like this one.
