BEAR COUNTY, MICHIGAN is a 2026 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize Finalist!
In colorful, darkly comic stories, veteran journalist John Counts takes readers to a fictional town in northern Michigan filled with backwoods misfits, ruined lumber families, beauty & bleakness.
The cover of Every Place on the Map Is Disabled: Poems and Essays featuring Adrean Clark's "Perseverance" against a beige background with the text "edited by Camisha L. Jones, Michael Northen, Naomi Ortiz, and Travis Chi Wing Lau"
The acknowledgments for the anthology with the following text: For our collective thriving and brilliance. In tribute to all of those we've lost to systemic failure. For crip kin and communities who claimed me in my early days of Disabled identity and introduced me to the miracle of access intimacy. May the words of all these mighty poets likewise help us find strength, find our way to one another. —Camisha L. Jones I'm grateful to those who have traveled the disability poetry route with me: the Inglis House Poetry Workshop, the staff of Wordgathering, and all who contributed to Beauty is a Verb. First and foremost, however, I am thankful to my family for hanging in with me through it all. -Michael Northen For the Crip ancestors, including Marlin D. Thomas and Kellie Haigh. For Zach, Jean, Tom, and Rachel; thanks for being you; and for sharing café, time, and love with me. Por mi cuerpo hermos@. Por la tierra, las comunidades, y los linajes that made me. -Naomi Ortiz For crip kin—past, present, and future. —Travis Chi Wing Lau
I cried a little bit when I opened the mail yesterday. I joined the editorial team for this new anthology of disability poetry in 2020 when I was so deeply uncertain about whether I'd have a job, so deeply isolated and scared for the future at a time of mass pandemic disablement.
so strange to bookpost in times like these™. but my debut poetry collection, Differential Diagnosis, coming out with @nupress.bsky.social in two months! it's about embodied and enminded noncompliance w/ institutional medicine, disorderly eating, being trans, all the usual Cavar fare.

We love the shoutout to MARAYRASU in this week's "Must List" from Entertainment Weekly.
