I'm honestly still astounded every time someone not only agrees to blurb my book, but also comes through with words more beautiful & insightful than I could've even asked for. Here's what Molly Cross-Blanchard had to say about my forthcoming poetry collection with @guernicaeditions.bsky.social...

Official release date for Skin Hunger is two days away! In the lead up, I'm sharing some words of advance praise I was so grateful to receive! I've known Paola Ferrante for some time as a fine writer and engaged community member. I am touched by what she's written. @guernicaeditions.bsky.social

For obvious reasons, it just wasn't quite on theme for my upcoming poetry collection The Work Is Done When We Are Dead from @guernicaeditions.bsky.social (Halloween 2026). But I do love to see it in this folio edited by @manahil.bsky.social for @robmclennan.bsky.social's periodicities.

Discover #SmallPress #books: Beckoning by Hollie Adams, @guernicaeditions.bsky.social & The Divining Season by Gwendolyn Paradice, @auntlute.bsky.social. See alt-text for book details. #DSPBposts 💙📚 #BookSky #booktok #bookstagram

Book covers for 1. The Divining Season by Gwendolyn Paradice, Aunt Lute Books: The town of Larissa, Texas, has secrets. Native girls are going missing, decades-old conflicts are hiding just below the surface, and Emily Howard is speaking to her ancestors. At eleven years old, the peculiar Emily does not fit in. It might be her bizarre fear of doorways, or the strange illnesses that plague her, or the obvious fact that she is not a blood relative of her mother. Regardless, Emily’s arrival to Larissa, Texas, changes the search for the missing children and the way the women of Larissa relate to each other. https://www.auntlute.com/the-divining-season ‪
and 2. Beckoning by Hollie Adams, Guernica Editions: How do you become your best self in what feels like the worst of worlds? Both probing and playful, the poems in this collection are interested in what it means to be a good person while trying to survive late capitalism. Is it our intentions or our actions which make us “good”? Is it enough to try to do better, or must our trying accomplish something? The speakers of these poems are often looking for better versions of themselves, imagining other selves within themselves, and seeking out alternate worlds in which they are themselves but new and improved. Out October 2026. https://guernicaeditions.com/products/beckoning

Book covers for 1. Catastrophilia by Julie Roorda, Guernica Editions: The poems in this collection explore how narratives of cataclysm, past and future, tap into “catastrophilia,” a term the poet coined to describe a love for, or fascination with apocalyptic catastrophe. Inspired by mythology, archaeology, and esoteric literature, these poems give voice to mystics, heretics, alchemists and gods, figures both mythical and historical, from Hermes to Anubis, Plato to Carl Jung, to Paracelsus, Giordano Bruno and John Dee. https://guernicaeditions.com/products/catastrophilia and 2. Without Your Father by Jessica Lynne Henkle, Unsolicited Press: In a series of 112 vignettes, Without Your Father chronicles the year following the sudden death of Jessica Lynne Henkle’s father. Written in the second person and with searing honesty, the book depicts the oddities and absurdities of navigating sudden loss, along with the utter devastation of it: the daily, sometimes hourly trudging forward in a life that has become unrecognizable now that one person is no longer in it. https://www.unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/without-your-father
