She's coming!

𝓟𝓻𝓮-𝓞𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓻 𝓝𝓸𝔀!

We’re thrilled to announce our final book for 2026: The Goat’s Tongue by .ole.peace, winner of the International Metatron Poetry Prize~ as chosen by 👑

An interdisciplinary poetry collection rooted in Yoruba folklore, symbolic language, performance, silence, soil, and becoming, The Goat’s Tongue traces the story of a girl, a goat, and an owl as they move through landscapes of vulnerability, belonging, memory, and transformation.

COVER ART ✶ .froese

Written in English alongside a symbolic language developed during Peace’s 138-hour performance ritual Ori. Ara. Emi. (Ori. Ori. My Head), this book expands what a poetry collection can hold: a living archive, a ceremony, a translation, and a bridge between oral tradition, performance, and contemporary poetics.

We are deeply honoured to be publishing this astonishing work this September ✨

More soon. 🐐🦉🌱

✶ ADVANCE PRAISE FOR AQUEOUS ✶

We are still floating in the afterglow of announcing Aqueous by Mind Bath — a strange, tender, psychedelic work of q***r fantasy, spiritual transformation, and luminous becoming.

Today we’re so honoured to share early words of praise from internet icon Goth Shakira 🖤

Part literary odyssey, part mystical transmission, Aqueous follows N.E.W.T., an effervescent stardust boy who cuts a hole in the sky and awakens in a realm beyond the violent dominions of Earth. What unfolds is a dazzling journey through pleasure, grief, ritual, memory, and radical q***r possibility.

Aqueous is a book for anyone who has ever had to invent a world in order to survive this one.

𝐿𝐼𝒩𝒦 𝐼𝒩 𝐵𝐼𝒪

Wavering Futures is a shape-shifting collection of experimental and speculative fiction and nonfiction prose, fragments that hold space for doubt, intimacy, collapse, and erotic candour. Written from the edge of ecological and emotional breakdown, these short, vivid vignettes refuse easy categories or easy answers.

Across three sections—Imaginary Utopias, Imminent Collapse, and Survival Tactics—the book explores how we relate, resist, and reimagine ourselves in moments of personal and planetary crisis. Whether through moments of quiet connection, surreal detachment, or collective dreaming, Wavering Futures leans into instability not as failure, but as invitation.

With a style that is lucid, fragmented, and full of surprise, this debut offers a soft yet searing look at the strange beauty of living through a time of threats and contradictions. Wavering Futures is a collection written for anyone who feels unmoored by the present, but unwilling to give up on what comes next.
