New chapbook release: Yakov Azriel, Shadow in the Closet [Robin Becker Series]

1 Reply

Our third title of the year is Yakov Azriel’s Shadow in the Closet, a compelling sequence of formal sonnets selected by series editor Steve Bellin-Oka as Number 28 in our Robin Becker Series. Some of these poems originally appeared in Mark Ward’s journal Impossible Archetype. We are so happy to publish the entire collection. Please join us in welcoming Yakov to the Seven Kitchens family.

We’re here, we’re queer, and we want your poems
