I am excited to announce that the press is now taking pre-orders for two outstanding new chapbooks: Tim Carter's THE PIGS and MJ Stratton's RIVER, OUR RIVER. You can read more about both books below and place your order today on the newly redesigned DMP website. Plus, over the next four weeks, I will be posting excerpts, interviews, and photos, and we will be holding a reading in early July via Zoom. Be on the lookout for more updates throughout June.

Also, with each sale, we will be raising money for the Urban Youth Collaborative, "an NYC student-led coalition fighting to end the school-to-prison & deportation pipeline." We feel that the UYC's work and its message are especially vital in a time when public schools continue to be a political battleground, too often resulting in the persecution and incarceration of the most marginalized. As before, writers will receive half of all income from sales, and the remaining half will be split equally between the press and the UYC.

Please help spread the word, and stay tuned for more news about both books in coming weeks!

A very good first week for the press so far! 34 booklets have been sold, raising just over $100 for Confluence HRKC. With 3 weeks left, we’d like to DOUBLE this amount. So please make a purchase if you have not done so, and help spread the word!

If you want to support but cannot afford a purchase rn, the simplest thing you can do is share one of these posts. It takes very little time and can directly result in sales.

And remember: 50% of each sale goes to the writer, and the remaining half is split equally between the press and Confluence HRKC. The press (i.e me, RM Haines) is not profiting in this. I'm just trying to stay afloat to put poems into the world and raise funds.

In coming weeks, I'll be providing book excerpts and interviews with the writers. Plus there will be an online reading the week of April 3rd, when the books are shipped and officially released. Stay tuned!💙

NEW CHAPBOOK!

THE PRIMITIVE ACCUMULATION OF REALNESS, by Amalia Tenuta, is a collection of (anti-) lyric and visual poetry that collides relentlessly with the possibilities of life under racial capitalism. The language moves through a kaleidoscope of registers and modes, from citation to illustration to a damaged and vital lyricism. At its core is a sustained examination of gender, of how we theorize it, and of the irreducibility of transgender life.

(29 pages, 8.5' x 7" booklet, $12)

See link in bio to order! 25% of all sales from both books -- will be donated to Confluence HRKC, "a harm reduction collective serving people who use drugs and those who love them in the Kansas City, MO area."

NEW CHAPBOOK!

SORRY TO MISS YOU, by Franziska Hofhansel, is an interwoven collection of poetry and fiction in which we encounter radicalized fish, a dialogue involving a paint chip, and a border between Wal-Mart and God’s love. Through a mixture of the cosmic and the intimate, the real and the unreal, the voices here almost vibrate with feeling as they lead us through our own mesmerizing and insane world.
