Today is release day for Jodi Lin’s The Tenderness of Glass. I sent out dozens and dozens of preorders this morning! Get your copy on the website and support trans* poets and new words {press}. Can’t say enough good things about this book and neither could Eileen Myles. 🩷 Help me congratulate Jodi!
