Folks, this is an URGENT situation- this friend has since passed away and these cats need IMMEDIATE care. Anyone in driving distance of NYC who can take them in please get in touch with Shecky things are looking desperate.

1/5 Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books mini-thread about Stasis, edited by Libby Graham @okaylib.bsky.social (@bellpressbooks.bsky.social) (who also edits @thesprawl.bsky.social), & related folks. Stasis contrib Harper Walton is also the editor of Carnival... (Buoy Press). #DSPBposts 💙📚 #BookSky

Book cover for Carnival at the End of the World edited by Harper Walton (Buoy Press), with a pencil drawing of lines and circles. Photo from Buoy Press's Linked-In account of several copies of the book lined up on a sales table. People metamorphose into birds, vows of silence become clown eras, hallucinogenic visions are plentiful, language and form disintegrates and evolves, drugs unlock psychogeography, sex and gender fluctuate and threaten to explode, bodies open and close, toilet queues stretch on for infinity, and streams of consciousness are polluted. In our contemporary moment of poly-apocalyptic anxiety, can we find a rugged sense of optimism? Or perhaps it is already too late, with nothing left for us to do but dance into the flaming rubble. Contributors Olly Barrett, David Dobson, Jack Houston, Nick Maynard, Alice Musgrove, Luke Reilly, Maria Robinson, Lily Steve, James Tilden, Harper Walton, and Alfie White. https://buoypress.sumupstore.com/product/carnival-at-the-end-of-the-world

Book cover for Stasis: An anthology of retrofuturisms edited by Libby Graham (Bell Press‬‬‬‬), with a person with flowing long hair floating in futuristic scuba gear in a tank filled with liquid, against a backdrop of a space ship and viewing port showing a blue planet. This collection of short stories looks to the future but is inspired by the science fiction of the past. A waitress, her lover, and a retro diner take off from Roswell, New Mexico. A storyteller uses poetry as a tool for colonial resistance. A single chess match determines the future of humanity. You’ll never know where you end up as the adventuresome tales of Stasis send you to the far reaches of time and space! Contributors: Roxane Llanque, Harper Walton, Antoinette Rydyr, Anthony Boulanger, Angela Acosta, Gregory Lawrence, Stephanie Osuji, Charles Chin, Adrienne Stevenson, Mélodie Langevin, Pauline Barmby, Mahaila Smith, and Marc Fleury. https://bellpressbooks.com/product/stasis/
