“Radically reimagining the ideal of 'the self' through coexistence with other species...to cherish the many other life forms while knowing we will never fully understand them.”

Read Jacinda Townsend’s TRIGGER WARNING (@graywolfpress.bsky.social) this #BlackHistoryMonth!

This novel explores “the possibility, after incredible trauma, of reconnecting to what makes us feel alive.”

Under Mandy-Suzanne Wong’s gaze, small uncharismatic invertebrates become heroes of our fragile ecology…This is a book to be savored slowly.

Out of the Sierra by Victoria Blanco at @coffeehousepress.bsky.social is very good. And @graywolfpress.bsky.social has the English version of Dysphoria Mundi by Paul B. Preciado.
Support small presses!
FUN FACT I learned when I went to Minneapolis for AWP like 10 years ago: arts funding is written into the Minnesota State Constitution. Hence the number of small presses thriving there.

Here's to arts communities and presses that amplify and share them broadly

There are so many great publishers in Minneapolis—one thing the rest of us can do is support their books. Here are a few recent novels from Coffee House, Graywolf, and Milkweed sure to give the goons from ICE a stroke: www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...

A mesmerizing & perspective-altering book. Wong’s hypnotic prose challenges us to look differently at ocean life & our relationship with the many quieter species we often take for granted. A love letter to the ocean & an absolute marvel of a book.

You need (at least) eight arms to hold this savvy & astute collection of essays: it considers topics normally reserved for science with artfulness & biased heart, & it looks at the very human act of writing as a flawed biological feat.
