This weighty collection is not a best of the press’s books so much as a selection of the work of 48 poets and writers of fiction all of whom had a book printed by the press from 2022 to 2026. Rather than run a Go Fund Me for the press, co-editor Dan Denton helped Michele collect writing to produce this volume so that everyone is represented and the press is benefited. I may be prejudiced, as I have published several books with the press, but I think there is a wealth of kickass work here that should appeal to just about any non-academic reader.
