Our fourth title of the year is Carolyn Oliver’s Night Ocean, selected as Number 17 in our Rane Arroyo Series. Please join us in welcoming Carolyn to the Seven Kitchens family.
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.
Our second title of the new year is Cynthia Rausch Allar’s Deviant, Number 8 in Volume 5 of our Editor’s Series. This manuscript was a strong contender in our Robin Becker Series a while back, and we are so happy to bring it into print at last. Please join us in welcoming Cynthia to the Seven Kitchens family.
Our first chapbook of 2023 is Lie Low, Goaded Lamb, a delightfully inventive collection by Ellen McGrath Smith, selected as Number 23 in our Keystone Chapbook Series. Each poem borrows its title from a Shakespeare sonnet, and the first letters of the words in each title map the sequence of words in each line of the poems. Contemporary, sure-footed, and full of surprising leaps and juxtapositions, these poems deliver over and over. Featuring amazing cover art by Angie Reed Garner, this is Ellen’s second chapbook with Seven Kitchens Press, and we are delighted to present it to you.
