Grayscale geometric design with glyphs that almost look like words. The "words" "kinship" and "adjoining" can be made out, but not many others.

PRESALE TIME!!

The best time to order small press books is during presale, when there are author incentives and awards buzz begins.

So order one, or order ten for all your friends. I mean look at that cover — who wouldn't want this on a coffee table.

A book cover. Two black birds of unknown species ponder a flash of light rising from horizon. One bird says "The Smallest Mistake We Call Human." The cover is lovely and everyone you know will like it.

I'm delighted to share the cover of Continental Drift, which will be published by @triohousepress.org this July! Many thanks to @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social. Photo by Adam Hong Arts; cover design by Joel W. Coggins. The story behind it all here: chireviewofbooks.com/2026/02/10/e...
Image: Book cover with sepia-toned black and white photograph of birds flying near snowy ground. Cover says Continental Drift / Poems / Mai-Linh Hong Graphic text: Chicago Review of Books (with logo) Exclusive Cover Reveal! “Rootedness and flight next to each other. Ephemeral and vulnerable, but uncontained, these borderless birds! I love the story of my uncle, artist and photographer Adam Hong, walking through a snow-filled Central Park, hoping to photograph birds, and the photographing sets off a chaos of departure, and this surprise image.”

A fascinatingly designed and overtly theatrical daydream
By Design imagines how lovely it would be to simply be a chair
Amanda Kramer's comic body-swapping fantasy By Design is precise, mannered, and warmly kooky. Also, a lady becomes a chair.

Fuck!!!!
Fuck! Fuck! Everything is so bad!! There’s an auction on dreams — Bonanza! Palooza! Extra- vaganza! Our one reverie sold for cents on the dollar. We got to be so good just to hold on to what we got — they have us rung like trees, growing half a centimeter a year and calling it progress. In the century it takes to see a difference, we’re all dead. Fuck. I just want to say something true that doesn’t hurt — palms and love handles say perfect ain’t the only way to stay alive. If I’m wrong, let me down easy.
