It’s pub day for MOTHER, DAUGHTER, AUGUR by Mary Simmons! This book is lush and dark, full of omens and wolves and women transforming. Think of it as a Victorian naturalist’s collection gathered from folklore and myth and ballet and fables. More at juneroadpress.com/mother-daughter-augur! 🍂✨

So glad to be spending time with Level Watch by Mary Ardery, by June Road Press, a woman-owned boutique press publishing some gorgeous books.

In this chapbook, she weaves recovery and nature, threads that resonate deeply with my own writing interests, together with such clarity and depth.

"Ardery’s debut is both a memoir of survival and a meditation on what it means to carry weight — literal and metaphorical — and to keep walking anyway."
