Still buzzing from connecting with writers and indie presses at the Punch Bucket Lit festival in Asheville this Saturday. @hanvanderhart.bsky.social @riverriverbooks.bsky.social Jakeela Dallis Kelly Riedesel Loblolly Press.

Small press books are such a joy—Animal Heart Press, Loblolly Press, Belle Point Press here! 📚💙 “formed by the grit / of the heart” indeed. I cannot say how important it is to support small presses right now directly. Many have alternative distribution models; they are the life of literature.

Found friend of the press @tomsnarsky.bsky.social’s new at @animalheartpress.bsky.social along with @bethgordonpoet.bsky.social 🥰🙏💙🎉🎉

One of my favorite journals nominated one of my favorite poems for BOTN!
