Welcome back BLUE BUCOLIC!
it’s not often we revise an existing title. Rebecca Kokitus’ 2nd chapbook has a revised cover, sharper images, and revised poems in this classic Thirty West chapbook from 2019. Sadly, no Schuylkill County coal rubbed pages, but this poetry is amazing.

Such a beautiful night celebrating the 10th anniversary of @thirtywestph.com! When I entered the indie lit world 5 years ago, Josh at Thirty West was 1 of the first people I saw as doing things the right way. He continues to inspire me to make Stanchion better for authors & readers.

Our final feature for tomorrow’s reading is Rebecca Kokitus. A classic chapbook author of ours, she’s coming out of poetry hiatus for you all. A Novel Idea hosted a few of her events in the past; a perfect circle moment. See you tomorrow from 5-7!

AI book club scams are going around. There’s nothing to gain from writers when the book sales aren’t even there. Is the goal to scam people and take their money for a promise? No reviews=no payment. Wild times.

Publishing confession: we had to turn down an endorsement deal because the traveling poet wanted us to buy a tailgate cover.
