LHP at AWP

Unfortunately Lame House Press will not be in attendance at AWP this year. We will, however, have a brand new broadside available featuring a poem by Hanna Andrews. Look for it at the Coconut/Bloof table. The broadside is printed in a limited edition of 100 copies, and will be given away free with a purchase of Hanna's new Coconut book Slope Move.

Franklin Bruno - The Accordion Repertoire

Franklin Bruno's first full-length book is now available from Edge Books! From the description at SPD:

"Q: Is 'cities' a real word? A: No, there is only one city."Compressed and expansive by turns, Franklin Bruno's first collection of poems moves through the languages of commerce and philosophy, the forgotten codes of old Hollywood and the radio serial, and the contested spaces of the contemporary city with musicality, anger, and wit.

You can order it now from SPD. Congratulations, Franklin!

Congratulations to Becca Klaver!

Becca Klaver, who has a chapbook forthcoming from Lame House Press, had her chapbook manuscript Nonstop Pop selected during the Bloof Books open chapbook reading period! Read about the other selections and honorable mentions here.
