2012 is here, so it’s time for a 2012 catalog! Books to read before Iran blows up the Mayans or whatever! The first book will be in April, a lovely new book of poems from Jordan Stempleman: No, Not Today, a book Heather Christle calls “affectionate” and “heartening.” Dana Ward says: “These endeared lyrics take the week, the month, the year and distress their order, gently, and with unprecedented care.” Wise out of the side of the mouth, funny and pillow talking, No, Not Today’s daily delvings are “clearly intimate and at home / in the country,” impressed and terrified by the consistency of life and love. Reading the poems of Jordan Stempleman is like becoming your own trust fall partner. Pre-order your copy today at a discount! Read an excerpt chapbook online! Stay tuned for lots of crazy hype projects like movies of guerilla poem hiding and birthing and all sorts of treasure-oriented new ways to take on your days.

• Coming Fall 2012: Quarry Light, a book of short stories by Claudia Smith that melts the boundaries between horror and literary fiction, because what is more terrifying than the domestic soul?

• Coming Winter 2012: The Skin Team, a novel by Jordaan Mason of mesmerized violence and the shape shifting between love and sex and the singing that happens when the power goes out.

• Visit us at AWP where we’re sharing a table with Juked! We are very excited for 2012. We think our books will spin a whole lot of air.
