Deborah Woodard has organized another interesting idea for a reading this Saturday afternoon at the Seattle Theosophical Library with E Briskin, Knox Gardner, Hank Hinnant, Rachel Karyo, Peter Nelson-King, Melanie Noel, and Susan Payne O'Brien.

So what is a Desire Path Reading? I am not sure! But an interesting way to challenge the readers as they make their selection from this huge, intense book!

In Finland, planners are known to visit parks immediately after the first snowfall, when existing the paths are not visible. The naturally chosen desire paths, marked by footprints, can then be used to guide the routing of new purpose-built paths.--Wikipedia

"Up until now, I have always thought of the poet as a kind of elder brother rather than an elder per se, but now I must acknowledge this august fact too as he writes at the height of his powers. Neither Yeats nor Frost (nor even Whitman) went gentle into that good joyless night. Nor were they all that playful." in ⁣

A lovely, deeply felt and personal review of Aaron's new chapbook, "Black Roses." There's only 14 of these left...⁣

"I licked the texture and it moved—" ⁣
⁣
This thin, unassuming book "Ardour: Poems from the Daud" by Matthew Rana with Nion Editions is one of the most ardently beautiful books of poetry I've read in *forever*. A gorgeous sense of sound and pacing through this work. ⁣
⁣
I am not familiar with the work of Ghalib or Urdu poetry, so I can't speak at all the "conversation" with this work that the book is having, but I enjoyed the conversation it was having with me. And always appreciate a book that makes me eager for my next read, whether more work by the author (not so easy in this case) or their inspirations. ⁣
⁣
Highly recommended! So gorgeous. I got my copy during a stop to drop inventory at , but this would be easy for any independent bookstore to order for you.

An intriguing evening last week at Wayward Music Series— thanks to Peter Nelson-King and his composition "Appunti" inspired by the work of Amelia Rosselli and her translator and Roberta Antognini.

A wonderful evening of two communities blending with poet Rachel Karyo, Alessandra Arosio and the musicians Neil Welch, Brian Bermudez, Jenny Ziefel, Mary Riles, and Mark Hillard Wilson of Scrambler.

Just grateful to be in the room while this was happening!

THE LAST TWO of "Alchemy for Cells & Other Beasts" are at our distributor ! — We're out at the office — This intense collaboration by and .d.arts came out in Trump1 and only reads more urgently now. Alas, doing additional reprints for full color projects is tough and the original printer is out of business, making it even more costly for our tiny press, so when these are gone, they are gone! Such a beautiful book!
