My suitcase almost exploded yesterday, stuffed as it was from my haul from #AWP24. Books from @deepvellum, @biblioasis_books, @redhenpress, @tin_house, @batcityreview @alkratz. My TBR stack is now officially out of control!

huge congratulations to former BCR editor Roger Reeves! ✨

Congratulations to Sarah Matthes, managing editor of @BatCityReview and 2022 #HamiltonBookAwards nominee! Neither elegies nor odes, the poems in “Town Crier” express the pervasive nature of loss and how it suffuses all aspects of a life: memories, hopes, love, sex, lunch.

We love sharing the publishing news of our contributors so any Issue One peeps please feel free to DM us with anything you wish us to draw attention to. On that note congrats to our own @sbrophy85 for his brilliant short story ‘Grace’ in @BatCityReview batcityreview.org/issue-19

The very handsome Issue 19 of @BatCityReview arrived and your boy feels proud proud proud

Happy to have this haibun out in @BatCityReview about salsa 🇵🇷, movement, and my momma 🌿 grateful to the team and for the chance to share space with everyone else in the issue!

Thanks to @BatCityReview for my contributor copies of their latest issue. Thrilled to have a short story in there!!

Never thought I'd write a poem grieving consent that was denied by another trans person. Hoping there's room for complex queer narratives during such violent measures against our autonomy. Big thanks to @BatCityReview for the sunlight.

& this hybrid zuihitsu/essay by Sylee!

So many 🤤 poets in this ish! With cover art by @itsdbouts! Get it: batcityreview.org/issue-19
