⭐️Featuring the latest our staff:

Leah Flax Barber’s THE MIRROR OF SIMPLE SOULS

Taking its title from Marguerite Porete’s fourteenth-century Beguine classic, The Mirror of Simple Souls embodies the metaphysical thorniness of the book-as-object through sources as wide-ranging as Renaissance theater, Low German and Old French mystical texts, Kate Bush lyrics, and the melancholy dialectics of Walter Benjamin. In Flax Barber’s stark, brutally compressed poems, the performance of writing is charged with the eros and anxiety of coming after: “Will it all be destroyed? / Definitely / I will hear it on my radio / In the 22nd century.”

Winter Editions is a literary small press with a particular focus on poetry and its intersections with the essay, the novel, and the visual and performing arts, as well as books that investigate print culture and poetics.

This week’s digital feature is from Eleni Sikelianos’ memoir, Memory Rehearsal.

Eleni Sikelianos is a poet, writer, collaborator, and master of mixing genres. She has published 10 books of poetry (most recently, Your Kingdom, 2023) and two unclassifiable hybrid works: The Book of Jon and You Animal Machine. Memory Rehearsal (forthcoming from City Lights, May 19, 2026) is the third in a trilogy of these genre-busting family encounters, this time between a poet and her ancestral past, documenting an intersection of q***r history, ancient theater, utopian visions, and modern poetry. Deeply engaged with ecopoetics, her work takes up urgent concerns of environmental precarity and ancestral work.
