Read Terry Trowbridge's review of Chris Hutchinson's Lost Signal (pub. @palimpsestpress.bsky.social)!

...[It] contains political poems that can be used to better understand major American political events of 2025 as experienced by working-class individuals...

How does the real interact.
Perception leaves a skeleton.

Abandonment witnesses ruins,
stagnant plastic private strangeness.

Charged with the flood, random
interior exile followed.

"LONG EXPOSURE” is a book-length poem that fluidly reflects on tragedy, depictions of thoughts & feelings, & uncomfortable spaces between self and other.

Stephanie Bolster reads from her newest work w/ @palimpsestpress.bsky.social at:
alllitup.ca/poetry-in-motion-stephanie-bolster-long-exposure
The cover of LONG EXPOSURE features the author's name in capitalized sans serif white text along the top, and the title in the same font, bolded, right aligned in the bottom right corner. The cover image is of a corner of a decrepit, abandoned home. In this graphic, cover of the book has been superimposed on top of a long exposure photo that matches the colour tones of the cover image.
