Winter fundraiser: Catches & Stays by Ron Mohring

Catches & Stays is a limited-edition chapbook of 13 poems, signed and numbered by Ron Mohring. Each poem begins with a line borrowed from another Seven Kitchens chapbook. Published in November 2022 in a set of 49 copies, this ephemeral collection is part of a larger ongoing work-in-progress. All proceeds will help cap our 2023 ISBN fund.

June is Giving Month

We had such success in June 2018 with raising ISBN funds (thank you). Three years later, it’s time to do it again. Our goal is $575 to purchase a new block of one hundred ISBNs, which will take us to our 275th title! (If you can’t imagine 275 chapbooks, believe me when I say that fifteen years ago, I couldn’t imagine ever publishing 160 titles.)

June 27 update: We are halfway to our goal! We so appreciate your generous support. Thank you.
