Bidding will be open for two weeks, until the evening of December 2nd, when we will gather at Oregon Contemporary for a night of performances by Eileen Myles, Samuel Ace, Allison Cobb, Sara Jaffe, and Brandi Katherine Herrera.

In addition to what's available online today, we'll live-auction a few featured pieces only available in-person on the night of the 2nd.

Thanks to generous members of FE's board of directors, every dollar raised up to $2,500 will be matched. So now is the time to support the press!

Our goal is to raise $5,000, all of which will go directly towards our 2022 publishing projects, featuring Alice Notley, John Ashbery, Hilary Plum, Cody-Rose Clevidence, and many more. And as a nonprofit org, all donations (including auction purchases) are tax-deductible.

As you know, the climate for small presses is tough as ever, and we need your support to make these projects happen! Simply put, we can't do this without you.

Lastly, for those who can't make it to the event in-person, we'll be live streaming. Register to attend virtually via the second link in bio. Join us!

Today we are launching the Fonograf Editions Fifth Anniversary Auction! (Link in bio.) Thanks to a truly overwhelming network of presses, journals, record labels, and visual artists, we have an incredible collection of books, records, and more available for browsing and bidding.

"You run up an escalator so forcefully, your feet throw the metal tread in reverse, and the whole mall goes back in time." Suchi J. Pritchard reviews @markleidner's "Returning the Sword to the Stone" (@fonograf_ed). clereviewofbooks.com/home/mark-leid…

My book, Proof of Stake, officially drops today!!!

DM if you’re interested in reviewing @check4charles new book, Proof of Stake. fonografeditions.com/catalog/f0no11…

Seems appropriate given the book title to mint an NFT on a network $ADA that utilizes proof of stake —CV
