above/ground press at (nearly) thirty-two,

In case you weren't aware, above/ground press is an Ottawa-based Canadian chapbook and journal publisher (b. July 9, 1993), producer of well over 1300 items-to-date, including the poetry quarterly Touch the Donkey [a small poetry journal], G U E S T [a journal of guest editors], The Peter F Yacht Club and the online extension periodicities: a journal of poetry and poetics, all lovingly edited, published, folded, stapled, posted and curated by myself. The bulk of the production are single-author poetry chapbook titles (with a prose series as well), producing some sixty to eighty titles a year (with roughly more than half by Canadian authors, less than half by American authors + the occasional author from beyond as well). Recent titles include chapbooks by Cary Fagan, Gwen Aube, Penn Kemp, Maxwell Gontarek, Nathanael O'Reilly, Catriona Strang, Andy Weaver, Alice Burdick, Jason Heroux and Dag T. Straumsvag, Carter McKenzie, Dani Spinosa, JoAnna Novak, Julia Cohen, Susan Gevirtz, Drew McEwan, Conal Smiley, Brook Houglum, russell carisse, Sue Landers, Rae Armantrout and Nate Logan, with forthcoming 2025 titles by J-T Kelly, Yaxkin Melchy (trans. by Ryan Greene), Thor Polukoshko, Mrityunjay Mohan, Laynie Browne, Sandra Doller, Gregory Crosby, Nada Gordon, Lydia Unsworth, Andrew Brenza, Brook Houglum, Orchid Tierney, Lori Anderson Moseman, Noah Berlatsky, Ryan Skrabalak, Terri Witek, David Phillips and Jacob Braun, among others. So many things! And annual subscriptions (willing to backdate, obviously, to January 1) are perpetually available, and there's even a hefty sale until July 9, 2025 on the press' extensive front/backlist, to help offset the fact that postal rates went up by 30% up in these parts back in January. Oof. And submissions? Maybe. I mean, I'm perpetually behind, but I'm open to at least considering. Either way, there's always the weekly "Tuesday poem" series, which I'm open to seeing submissions for [poem(s) an' bio as .doc + photo to rob_mclennan (at) hotmail (dot) com]. If interested, you can always sign up to receive the weekly poem in your in-box over here.
