Rita Mookerjee's first full-length collection, FALSE OFFERING, "is a bad bitch, is a heathen's hearth, is a sexy romp through selfhood and lineage, is venom breaking apart the fuckery of empire and white supremacy." -Jane Wong

Welcome to Rita Mookerjee! Simone Muench notes her work, FALSE OFFERING, is glittery, culinary sumptuous, and scythe sharp…a feminist ledger of "battle armor meeting ballet." A rare book that while flipping the middle finger has its hands held out in tenderness to those in need.

Maureen Seaton's book Undersea out tomorrow!!! HUZZAH!
@manyplums

Here, Goodwin brilliantly gathers mothlight, herbal lore, psychedelia, heavy metal, and old charm to capture a world that is bountiful, magnificent, and impermanent...Ferocity and decaying bodies populate these poems, but also tenderness and rhythmic hope.

RANK by

explores the intersections of glitching, distortion, bodies, and societal infrastructures; through her art, we see the "glitches" become obliterated, and meaning take on deeper complexities. Snodgrass questions what it means to build and tear apart....
