Wonderful evening at Mac’s last week celebrating the debut from local poet Mary Simmons 🐦⬛ Our very own Olivia Mirmohamed opened the night with a reading from her thesis 💫 Get “Mother, Daughter, Auger” at Mac’s or online here: www.juneroadpress.com/mother-daugh... @juneroadpress.bsky.social
It’s pub day for MOTHER, DAUGHTER, AUGUR by Mary Simmons! This book is lush and dark, full of omens and wolves and women transforming. Think of it as a Victorian naturalist’s collection gathered from folklore and myth and ballet and fables. More at juneroadpress.com/mother-daughter-augur! 🍂✨

"Ardery’s debut is both a memoir of survival and a meditation on what it means to carry weight — literal and metaphorical — and to keep walking anyway." @sara-eastler.bsky.social reviews LEVEL WATCH by Mary Ardery. @juneroadpress.bsky.social
Debut Collection Captures the Struggle of Carrying Physical and Emotional Weight
Mary Ardery’s debut poetry collection draws from her experience as a wilderness guide for women recovering from addiction.
