From Michelle Halket, Publisher: "Our most recent round of open poetry submissions resulted in the discovery of some of the best new poets out there and Shams' is a perfect example. Gritty and real, accessible and unique in its long-form structure, her poetry will resonate with those looking to investigate and challenge what they see happening around them. I'm proud Central Avenue was her choice for a home for this book, and I cannot wait to share it with you all next fall."

From Michelle Halket, Publisher: "What really drew me to this book is the quiet strength in Sara’s writing. Her work both on and off the page gently explores self-love, healing, and hope—even in the midst of darkness. As a wellness coach and popular creator known as , she brings such a warmth and honesty to all of us. She was a finalist in our 2025 Poetry Prize, and I’m so proud we now get to share her uplifting debut with readers."

From Michelle Halket, Publisher: "What I really love about this collection is how it blends the mystical with the deeply personal. Michelle Awad, a popular creator in the poetry community with a strong following, explores themes like grief, memory, and longing with an occult vibe that feels both haunting and relatable. Her poems stay with you—they have this quiet power that really draws you in. I'm so excited we get to publish her debut and share her voice with more readers!"

From Michelle Halket, Publisher: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with William for many years, and his debut collection, The Grief We're Given, still holds a special place in my heart. When he shared this new manuscript, we knew right away it was something special. William has a gift for crafting elevated poetry that remains deeply accessible—something clearly reflected in the growth and engagement of his social media audience in recent years. It’s rare to find a poet who can write with artistry and depth while also connecting meaningfully with so many readers. I’m truly honored that he’s chosen Central Avenue as the home for this book.”

Publishers get nervous too. Like when we make an offer for a book and don't hear back. Or when we submit to reviewers and the media and don't hear back. Or when we ask to meet with foreign publishers to talk about co-publishing in their countries and don't hear back.
