Nice to see that within just a few days of its release, our newest chapbook is closing in on several Amazon Top 100 lists.

The Goose Liver Anthology is a retelling of Mother Goose in the style of the Spoon River Anthology.

What makes it noticeable is that these Top 100 lists are usually filled with reprints of classics, longstanding reliably-selling titles, etc.

Rarely poetry chapbooks from small indie presses. 😀

Our twenty-third and April issue is live!
