Twenty years of survival, truth-telling, and raw American grit — Collected Poems: 2005–2025 gathers Michele McDannold’s best and hardest-hitting work from two decades in the small press trenches.

Reserve your signed copy of NOWHERE TO GO BUT EVERYWHERE: TRAVEL POEMS by Milenko 'Miles' Budimir at https://www.magicaljeep.com/product/everywhere/6FMI226PH57JOE7VRRYVHBT2 "From “fields of windmills” to the 7 th Avenue Bridge, the reader journeys through cities and continents in Budimir’s lyric travelogue. In a nearly audible vernacular cadence, the poet portrays the textured beauty and grit of each destination. Searching and tender, these poems lead us to both far-flung and interior places, all of which we visit gladly."—Barbara Sabol, author of Mapping the Borderlands

In She Throws Herself Forward To Stop The Fall, everyone is still in college, even though they are too old for college. The women in these stories work at the mall, work in bars, work in restaurants. They are middle-aged and live at home. They want to be writers. They want to be cops. Their boyfriends smoke crack and get lost. Their dads work in factories. Their grandfathers die without warning. Nothing is safe but everything will be fine. Go to class. Grab a cigarette. Pick up a broom. These are the stories of dreams and the endless work people do to survive.⁣
