All of the 2025 summer chapbooks are sold out. Each of the authors involved received generous amounts of contributor copies though so you can go perform favors for them to get a copy. Thank you again to everyone

There is only one copy each available of John Burroughs "Awash" and Jason Ryberg "Scarecrow Standing at a Crossroads" at the website. Once those are snatched up by some patron of elevated sophistication the 2025 Summer Drippity drip drap drop comes to a close. Big thanks to everybody who already picked something up.

JULY

I want to thank everyone who has purchased the chapbooks in this Spring Drop and all of the authors who have participated.

The money from these sales allows us to continue paying the features at Poetry Speaks a small honorarium for their performances. Poetry Speaks was the first reading I was ever paid for and when Bill passed it was important to me that the tradition of paying features continues.

It's not always the same amount, it's always just what we could afford at the time, but these chapbooks sales make it easier to keep that going and consistent.

This drop has been a solid success and will carry us through to the next drop and a bit beyond.
