On culling her own darlings, Miranda Dennis says, “The Margaret was a bit longer – not much, but a bit. But she said chop off whichever limb you want, I’ll just regrow it in someone else’s head.”  The Margaret is now available for $5, linked in our bio.

On writing The Margaret, Miranda Dennis explains, “I’m my most authentic self as a poet when I mediate the weird with the real. [The Margaret] was the first time I remember feeling like I hit the right balance, and it’s an energy I seek more and more all these years later.”

Be like Miranda Dennis: “Get weird. Be a nonce form.” Read The Margaret now for only $5 to see how Dennis innovated and produced a singular manuscript we’re wild about. #poetry #poems #chapbooks #poets #poetrybooks #indieauthors #digitalpublishing #themargaret #mirandadennis

Feeling subsumed? You’re not alone. Join Miranda Dennis in caring for the parts of you that may “[curse] at power, and save us.” The Margaret will bristle and hiss into being on January 31.  #newacquisition #mirandadavis #themargaret

Miranda Dennis’ micro-chapbook, The Margaret, centers on the difficulties of raising the unnerving Margaret of Anjou. A font-forward cover made sense to us for this collection, and begins with a Shakespearean epigraph (pictured). The Margaret will be available January 31.

Our ethics are built into our guidelines in terms of submission content but if you support the outcome of this election, we simply aren’t the right press for you. Clean cup, move down.
