We've met our goal and still have another month to go! Thanks so much to all who contributed. Anything over our goal will go toward 2027 titles.

And it's all about funding another year of great books. We're already two thirds of the way to our Kickstarter goal. Thanks to everyone who so quickly contributed. If you haven't already, please consider chipping in. Anything helps. kickstarter.com/projects/fou…
Rachelle got Steve, Darren, and me to piece together how it all began (and argue over where it's going) substack.com/home/post/p-183…

The @BuffaloHistory Museum asked me to write an episode for their excellent podcast on the local spiritualist and lawyer Edward C. Randall. He believed the dead have never died. Check it out. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

New podcast from our publisher Aidan Ryan - from an overlooked chapter in Buffalo small press history.
If you were to end Ezra Pound's Cantos at number 109, you'd have a very different project and a very different Pound. A few editors of little magazines in Buffalo, New York took matters into their own hands. We owe the Pound we know to them. Listen: open.substack.com/pub/aidanm…

"Perhaps that is what all poets do: Listen to the rain and hear in it a long-dead language which is the mystery of poetry itself, beyond our power to explain or understand. At His Desk in the Past is only 47 pages, but it speaks volumes and adds much to the Franz Wright canon."
