Thinking about cuts to humanities across many universities, I can't help but think about all the lists of words being expunged from gov't websites, grants, etc. A sign that words matter, and the humanities are those disciplines that give us methodology & rigor to interrogate how they matter.

What surreal joy it is to be entrusted with the publication of Angie Estes' seventh collection. She is among our nation's very finest poets... and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for very good reasons! www.unboundedition.com/product/last...

Impeachment Announced by Congressman Al Green:
Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere (MLK). Injustice in Gaza is a Threat to Justice in America. Watch Rep. Green's floor speech online: youtu.be/N2xG1K0izqs?...

We are honored to announce that Unbound will publish Angie Estes’ 8th book, The Swallows Come Out: Selected Poems, 1995-2025, a volume of her most inventive and compelling poems. Coming March 2026.

“These are poems for the ages."
